kernel 2.6.35 pve and 6805

[FAN]

Hi All

I installed proxmox-ve-1.8-6070-5 on server and all good...
Im edit sources.list ( deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian lenny pvetest ) to install for testing proxmox ve 2.6.35 from system and from reboot - dont boot system

I add sata hdd in server and install from CD 2.6.32-4-pve and install on he 2.6.35-2-pve and understend bag - dont support Adaptec ars 6805 RAID

How to set a driver aacraid-1.1.7-28000 on 2.6.35-2-pve kernel:
1. Install proxmox 2.6.32-4-pve and reboot
2. Install proxmox 2.6.35-2-pve (http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Install_Proxmox_VE_on_Debian_Lenny, edit sources.list -> deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian lenny pvetest ) and Don't reboot
3. Download compiled drivers aacraid-1.1.7-28000-kernel-2.6.35-2-pve.zip
4. copy initrd.img-2.6.35-2-pve to /boot
5. copy aacraid.ko to /lib/modules/2.6.35-2-pve/kernel/drivers/scsi/aacraid
6. reboot

Good Luck!

for all kernel 2.6.38 - driver aacraid-1.1.7-28000 dont compile and not work

need use 2.6.39 or 3.0.x kernel (driver include on kernel)

 

[kirelgt]

Any solution for this. I know this driver work with Debian 5.0.9 and later.
