Good afternoon.
I've been using Astaro for a while now, it's an excellent product. However, I'm having problems installing on a new firewall machine. It's a Dell Poweredge 1650, with a Dell PERC 3/Di RAID controller. This RAID controller has a different PCI ID to previous PERC controllers. When I install redhat in similar machine, I need to pass paramters to the aacraid.o module, something like:
aacraid_pcccids=0x1028,0x0A,0x1028,0x011B
This fixes my problem on redhat. However, I'm wondering is it possible to do something similar on astaro. I see there is an entry in /usr/share/pci.lst on the install media (when I drop to a shell after the install fails), but there is not an entry in /usr/share/pci.ids to match. I can't edit these, since the install filesystem is on the CD, instead of a ramdisk as is usual with other distros [:)] .
I am using 2.016 at the moment. I don't want to have to download a lter version unless I know it works. So, my basic questions are:
1. Do later versions support the passing of module paramters, and loading of additional modules before probing for hardware?
2. Does a later version recognise the PERC 3/Di RAID controller by default?
