To whom it may concern,

My name is Jason and  I am with a company called GC InfoTech, I am
working with a server that has the integrated LSI MegaRaid 1068e
(M1068e.01.08221427R).

I am trying to build a module using the vanilla kernel, from your
source drivers, that we will be able to use with Gentoo Linux. I am
currently not having any luck, as the compile breaks every time.

I have tried the precompiled driver for RHEL with CentOS and was
unsuccessful getting it to work as well.

I am assuming that the sources I am using are for RHLE or SLES only. Is
this assumption correct? Is there any way that I can get this working?




I have invested a great deal of money into these servers and it would
be great to be able to use them with Gentoo.



Do you have any ideas, maybe an unreleased driver? Any help is greatly
appreciated and if there is anything else you need to know, please let
me know and I will get whatever you need.




Thanks,
