I don't see this device listed in the generic kernel althought the 4.3 release notes say that they support this hardware... and once I exit the kernel config I do see this device being listed as I enter the sysinstall menu... but, once I go to do the fdsk... no hard drives are found! Unfortunately Dell and Adaptec specifically support Linux... and so information on this problem is hard to find. Can you help?
