Thread: Adaptec aacraid 6805 6405, v 1.1.7-28000


i'm building new server adaptec 6805 controller , ran version problems current drivers on adaptec , current version of ubuntu.

drivers on adaptec website 10.04.01 (kernel 2.6.32-24) ubuntu released 10.04.02 (kernel 2.6.32-28). makes using insmod aacraid.ko fail due version differences.

downloaded linux drivers source , trying figure out how older kernel source. took forever somehow managed work using "dkms" build module older kernel.

worked step 1 of installation ubuntu recognize aacraid driver. (insmod aacraid.ko) worked

step 2 after ubuntu installed copy old initrd 2.6.32-24 again think problem. used mkinitramfs create proper initrd.img-2.6.32-28-server new aacraid.ko driver.

never tried step because have card still waiting hardware continue rest of build unable test this, monitor thread , provide info.

i've attached aacraid.ko able detect on 10.04.02.

here initrd: initrd.img-2.6.32-28-server

if works i'll link better spot in future. should have hardware next week able confirm if needs right away please let me know how worked out.
