Who is making the decisions about what
\nto include in the Fedora distributions? I have noticed Ever since at least Fedora
\n10 and maybe sooner you have had to jump through various hoops to get SCSI and
\nRAID controllers to operate properly. <\/p>\n
<\/span>Does the Fedora project have a lot of people I really have been a Fedora fan Time to expand my horizons and check out the other Linux distributions to save my precious time which is the reason I have always used Fedora it used to save me time hunting down drivers\/software etc..!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n *****************************UPDATE***************************************<\/font> <\/p>\n Okay after blowing off some steam I did finally get the Fedora 16 install to recognize my Smart Array on my DL580 by sspeciffying the following as boot options during the install: “linux noprobe acpi=noirq askmethod”. I then selected SmartArray2 and presto I can see my drives!<\/p>\n Credit due to old post on Linux forums though I do recall doing this before I had not recalled it until seeing this post: http:\/\/www.linuxquestions.org\/questions\/linux-hardware-18\/cannot-install-scsi-driver-for-compaq-smart-array-in-fedora-core-v-438887\/<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I did this after installing Centos and looking around it for a while. I just really like the glob of software that I get with Fedora. I have discovered so many helpful programs with Fedora its addictive and hard to give up even with some of the install issues I have had to work around with what seems to be a devalued view of some SCSI\/RAID\/SAS controller cards or maybe I’m missing the maintainers vision. I will still be playing with Centos since it mirrors so enterprise Red Hat so closely which I see in the work place so much but without the cost. I will also play further with Ubuntu & OpenSUSE to get familiar with those distributions software they package with. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 \/* Style Definitions *\/ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:”Table Normal”; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-qformat:yes; mso-style-parent:””; mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; mso-para-margin-top:0in; mso-para-margin-right:0in; mso-para-margin-bottom:10.0pt; mso-para-margin-left:0in; line-height:115%; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:”Calibri”,”sans-serif”; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:”Times New Roman”; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast; … Continue reading
\nunaware of the enterprise part of computing as far as the hardware layer is
\nconcerned? <\/span>I’m trying to do a simple
\nbase installation on an HP DL580 with a smart array and I have tried the
\nsuggestions on Fedora’s kernel issue page @ http:\/\/fedoraproject.org\/wiki\/Common_kernel_problems<\/a>
\nbut still I’m unable to get Fedora 16 to recognize the RADI\/SCSI controller on
\nmy DL580. Every other Distribution I have tried without any alterations to the
\nboot parameters recognize the devices without fail and also pick up on the
\ncurrent <\/span>custom <\/span>LVM partitioning I have setup so I can
\npreserve the data on those partitions to save me having to restore after boot!<\/p>\n
\nsince its inception and Red Hat going back to the really early versions in
\nearly to mid ’90’s but I really don’t want to have to insert or exclude certain
\nkernel drivers or parameters for fresh install all of the time when other distributions
\nof Linux like Ubuntu & Centos, see the devices in question right away
\nwithout any further action from myself! I have other things to worry about like
\nrebuilding my web sites, studying up on new software\/hardware, fishing, etc..,
\ndon’t make me have to jump through hoops just to see standard hardware other Linux
\ndistro plans for!<\/p>\n
