megaraid not working in 2.6.18

megaraid not working in 2.6.18

hi,

I have two servers with AMI megaraid.
They both runnig 2.6.11.*

I want to upgrade to 2.6.18. The problem is: the driver does not work
anymore.

If I try the new driver, the kernel freezes after I see a stack trace
dump. It is OK, I read somewhere that I should not use this new one as
it does not support my old cards.

However the legacy megaraid drivers does not work either. I get
unknown-block-device error when the kernel tries to mount sdaX.
I do not even see the megaraid driver coming up! no detecting messages like
in 2.6.11

This page: http://linux.dell.com/storage.shtml#megaraid lead me to this
list.

I'm not sure why the driver gets failed to load. 
For further assist, please contact LSI customer service if you bought directly from LSI, or contact your system maker.

Thank you,

Well that's an old (legacy? ;-) server we do not want to throw out. The
vendor is HP. We do not have support for linux AFAIK we never had.

I will start examining the source (and the patches after 2.6.13) if I
can see some obvious...

But if you have any hints please tell me.

Thanks.
