LSI U320 Controller Driver for Linux
Greetings!
I realize that Dell customer service doesn't offer any official support for anything but Red Hat, but I'm hoping that somebody over here can help me out. I need a driver to accent my slackware install for the controller in my new PowerEdge 1750. I believe it's the LSI Ultra 320 controller. If anyone has a driver, or can point me to one, or can tell me what the name of it is in the official 2.6 kernel (if it is supported in the kernel), I would be highly appreciative. =)
Thanks!

Megamgr Standard Features:
=========================
-Utility supports 12-adapters including of all types of cards supported by it. It supports SCSI and Intelligent
IDE/SATA MegaRAID cards viz.
428/434/438/466/467/490
471/475/493/511(IDE)/518/520/523(sata6)/Sata4/531/1035
-Utility does now allow Raid-0 spanning.
-Max 40-arrays support on 40-ld card, 8-arrays on 8-ld card
-Spanning across partial arrays are disallowed
-Shows Predictive failure ,if any, in physical drive properties menu
-Utility allows user to initialize OPTIMAL logical drives
-Supports consistency checking of OPTIMAL non-RAID0 logical drives
-Utility does not allow the user to exit the rebuild/check consistency/init progress screen without
aborting the operation.
-Utility allows the user to view ongoing REBUILD on all the physical drives.
-Shows Battery options in MainMenu->Objects->Adapter menu since ver 5.14. Earlier it was available in
Main Menu->Object menu. This is now available only when there’s battery on the adapter.
-Supports Reconstruction (RLM + OCE)
-Ongoing Reconstruction detection and stop other activities on that card till reconstruction is over.
-Supports RAID=0,1,3 (not on U320 controller),5,10,30 (not on U320),50
No RAID 3/30 option on U320 controller.
RAID 3/ RAID 30 is not allowed on SATA cards since ver 5.15.- Unfortunately, that's not the correct controller, I do not believe. The one I have is not RAID. I cannot seem to get a GET post to link you, but I can walk you through it.
If you go to the downloads page, select the following dropdowns:
SCSI I/O Controllers
Ultra320 SCSI I/O Controllers
LSI53C1030
This brings you to a page for driver downloads for Red Hat, SuSE, and Caldera... but nothing for slack, and I don't see source downloads either... but maybe I'm blind (a known possibility) =/ The Megaraid Drivers seem to be the ones recommended for this.
