Dell PERC5/i

I was just wondering if the Dell PERC5/i RAID card would work out of the box in Arch, or if there were any drivers I needed to download. I couldn't find much documentation on the subject, and I want to make sure that I'll be able to get it working before I purchase it.

Re: Dell PERC5/i

Yes. Dell Percs are just rebranded LSI Megaraids.

dieter@dieter-ws ~ $zgrep -i MEGA /proc/config.gz 
CONFIG_MEGARAID_NEWGEN=y
CONFIG_MEGARAID_MM=m
CONFIG_MEGARAID_MAILBOX=m
CONFIG_MEGARAID_LEGACY=m
CONFIG_MEGARAID_SAS=m

Seems like you just need to load the right kernel module and you're done.
