Alle, I am trying to install CentOS 5 on a Dual Xeon 5160 FJ RX200 S3. The RAID hardware is an internal LSI MPT 1068 SAS/RAID controller (LSI 1068SASIME-2300). I have downloaded the drivers (mptsas, mptscsih and mptbase) and created the required floppy. When I run linux dd after booting from either the DVD or Disk 1 of the CentOS distro, it says it loads mptsas, mptbase and mptscsih and then comes up with "No drivers of the appropriate type were found", etc... Consequently, the RAID device is not found and no disks are available for installation. When I do this with RHEL5 Disk 1, the drivers load correctly and there is no problem. I went to the LSI Logic site to download the drivers directly from there, but they apparently don't support RHEL5 as of yet for the LSISAS1068. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Doing a regular install *without* the using the FJ driver disk works just peachy. Best Regards, Camron Camron W. Fox Hilo Office High Performance Computing Group Fujitsu America, INC.
