Title: raid card support Post by: anvaruk on Friday 09 November 2012, 02:25:04 am Hi all
I submitted a bug http://bugs.endian.com/view.php?id=4490 looks like they just keep forgetting to add certain drivers into new releases every time I have problems with new versions any workarounds? can I just copy some files from old ISO version which works on my hardware to 2.5.1 iso which does not work? isn't it a normal practice just include all drivers into Linux distros as everyone else does? or they do it on purpose in order to get paid for support? or perhaps I don't understand something about how this hardware support works I work for a charity and we cannot afford to their paid edition sorry, I just spent whole night trying to make it to work and eventually reverting to old version thanks Title: Re: raid card support Post by: fqureshi on Monday 10 December 2012, 12:48:54 pm I am struggling too :(
Have you got any success? Title: Re: raid card support Post by: anvaruk on Wednesday 12 December 2012, 04:33:36 am I am struggling too :( Have you got any success? no, I'm still on 2.4.1, they closed the ticked with status: Fixed in Version - future looks like this version has got more hardware support EFW-COMMUNITY-2.4-201005280528-RESPIN then you can update it to 2.4.1 Title: Re: raid card support Post by: fqureshi on Wednesday 12 December 2012, 07:31:10 am I appreciate your response. May I request you a favor if you please provide me a link or guide me from where you have downlaoded
EFW-COMMUNITY-2.4-201005280528-RESPIN and then how you have updated it? Title: Re: raid card support Post by: fqureshi on Wednesday 12 December 2012, 10:04:43 am I found the version but it does not want me to be happy :)
It didn't work on my hardware..same issues I am having with 2.5.1 install. It does not detect Cisco Raid controller. Title: Re: raid card support Post by: fqureshi on Thursday 13 December 2012, 09:55:20 am Now this what I have done. I installed VMWare hypervisor which is free. It detects all the hardware configuration. It detects the RAID without any issues. I then created a virtual machine on it and installed Endian 2.5.1.
May be it help you and others... |
