Configuring 2.6.33 Kernel for PERC/4

Configuring 2.6.33 Kernel for PERC/4

Hi,

I'm trying to help someone who is having difficulty upgrading from a 2.6.9 kernel to 2.6.33.  The box is a Dell Poweredge 2650 and has a PERC4/DC "standard" (351X firmware).  When I run make menuconfig I see two good choices for drivers:

LSI Logic New Generation RAID Device Driver
LSI Logic Legacy MegaRAID 

I've tried each seperately, as modules and in the kernel but when I boot it panics with an error about "/bin/lvm exited abnormally"

I can't find any clues in /var/log/messages.   I'd appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction to configure this kernel properly for MegaRAID support!

Regards,

Please attach the kernel message log. We would need to know the messages from the driver to figure that out.

Cheers,
