Hi all
I am trying to install 5.1a on a es45 with a smart array 5300 raid controller
and when I try to boot up off the cd to begin the installation it doesn't
seem to recognize the card in the generic kernel that is contained upon the
instation CD. Also I note that in the documentation for the smart array
controller that it says that 5.1a is supported. Is this a chicken or egg
problem?? Where by you need a patch kit to provide support but first you need
to get the os installed first. Or should I just go and install 5.1b which
would have support for this card on the generic kernel that is contained on
the CD.
Thanks in advance

Notes the following srm variables have been set as per the instructions.
the heap_expand variable has been set at 2MB
The boot bios variable has been set to pya which is the smart array controller
