*Legacy ~MegaRAID driver is no longer included

*Legacy ~MegaRAID driver is no longer included

Certain raid cards that worked under SME Server 6, do not work under SME Server 7. Adapters with the following PCI vendor ID and device ID pairs are not supported by the megaraid_mbox driver: vendor, device = 0x101E, 0x9010; 0x101E, 0x9060; 0x8086, 0x1960. The lspci -n command can be used to display the IDs for adapters installed in a particular machine. Products with these IDs are known by (but not limited to) the following model names:  Broadcom 5820, Dell PERC (dual-channel fast/wide SCSI) RAID controller, Dell PERC2/SC (single-channel Ultra SCSI) RAID controller, Dell PERC2/DC (dual-channel Ultra SCSI) RAID controller, Dell CERC (four-channel ATA/100) RAID controller, DRAC 1, ~MegaRAID 428, ~MegaRAID 466, ~MegaRAID Express 500, HP NetRAID 3Si and 1M.  Both Dell and LSI Logic have indicated that they no longer support these models in the 2.6 kernel. As a result, these adapters are no longer supported in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Update 1, upon which SME Server 7 is based. See this bug listing for details, there is an unsupported workaround if needed:
