Suse Linux - Adaptec RAID 2120S Installation Manual

SuSE Linux

Installing the Driver in a New SuSE Linux System
In this scenario, you would be installing the controller in a new
SuSE Linux system.
As this document was being prepared for release, SuSE Linux does
not support using the Adaptec SCSI RAID 2120S/2200S controllers
as a primary controller. This prevents using any drives attached to
either of these controllers from acting as the boot device.
Adaptec is working on a solution to this problem. To find the latest
developments about using the Adaptec SCSI RAID controllers as a
primary with SuSE Linux, go to the web site linux.adaptec.com.

The Adaptec SCSI RAID Installation CD contains precompiled
module drivers and storage management software in RPM format.
