CentOS - May 2013 - SuperMicro with LSI MegaRaid with Centos 6.0

Everyone,

I am trying to install a Centos 6.0 system on a SuperMicro with an LSI
MegaRaid SCSI 320-2 controller.  

I had originally tried to install 6.4, but the 6.4 install DVD does not
boot with this configuration.  
See :
http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=5377

Fortunately, the 6.0 install DVD worked fine until it failed to identify
the hard disc controller.  I checked the lsi.com site which had a driver
for RH 3 and RH4, but not 5 and not 6.  

The interesting thing about this machine is that I had Centos 5.0
installed without difficulty (that over time upgraded to 5.9)

Does anyone have any idea of a driver I could use to get Centos 6.0 up
and running.

Thanks!!!!

I don't think you understand how to use it. First, BEFORE YOU TRY TO
INSTALL, use the firmware option while it's getting up - I think it's
<ctrl-R>, and create a logical drive, whatever RAID level you want, with
spares if it's not just RAID 1. Tell it to initialize (you can do a quick
initialize). Then exit that, and it'll reboot, and Linux will see it
presented by the controller as one physical drive, and it should be happy.
