IBM – Installing Red Hat Enterprise Linux Version 4 Update 3 – IBM System x3550

Supposedly, this page will tell me how to make Red Hat work with the Adaptec SATA RAID controller on my new IBM x3550. We’ll see.

Update: well, no, not really. From what I found, the only way to get RHEL4 to see that controller was to download the single disk image, of about 30, that worked with both that particular controller and that particular version and release of RHEL.

Also, a hearty “screw you” to IBM for lumping all their drivers on a single page. Also also, an even heartier “screw you” to IBM for requiring floppy images for servers that don’t even ship with floppy drives.
