ISO with Highpoint Rocketraid 2720 &2680 support ?

[tarball]

Hello,

I'm trying to install proxmox VE on systems that have a bunch of disks running off highpoint rocketraid 2680 & 2720 RAID controllers.
The 1.9 proxmox kernel doesn't seem to have support for those cards.
Would it be possible to have an ISO that supports those cards ?

The open source linux drivers are here.
2720: http://www.highpoint-tech.cn/BIOS_Driver/rr272x_1x/Linux/RR272x_1x-Linux-Src-v1.2-110920-1602.tar.gz
2680: http://www.highpoint-tech.cn/BIOS_D...nux-src-v1.6-legacy_single-110316-1107.tar.gz

If there is a method to build the ISO from source (so that i can patch myself), that's fine also.

Your help is much much appreciated

thanks

AFAIK those are fake raid controllers (software raid) - use real raid controllers instead.

Thanks for the feedback.
Can you confirm that the LSI 3081E-R 8 port works out of the box with proxmox VE 1.9 ?
I can get this one at a better price than the Adaptec 2805.

Quick note to let people know that the LSI SAS1068E card (raid-10, 8 disks) works fine with proxmox 2.0 beta.
Having trouble installing 1.9 however.
