I assume you are using DELL system.
Can you provide detail system configuration (like, # of CPU and speed, size
of memory, MegaRAID ATA controller model, etc)?

It seems like the kernel (or the driver) is NOT detecting the device for
some reason. We will post update as we make.

Thank you,

Thanks for the reply Ju,

Here is the information I have:

System: Power Edge 650
CPU: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.06GHz (SMP is on because of the HT cpu)
Memory: 1G (himem enabled)

The controller is:
v2.10.3 (Release Date: Thu Apr  8 16:16:05 EDT 2004)
CERC ATA100/4ch
Controller Type: 438/466/467/471/493/518/520/531/532
Controller Supports 40 Logical Drives
Controller capable of 64-bit memory addressing
Controller is not using 64-bit memory addressing
Base = f89c3000, Irq = 17, Initial Logical Drives = 1, Channels = 4
Version =6.62:1.03, DRAM = 16Mb

The strange part is that the kernel detects the controller, just not the
logical drive on the controller.

Let me know if there is any information I can provide, I would love to
have this working....
