IBM has a bootable CD (forgot if it's Linux or Windows) that I was able to the original config. from. This will ultimately be a production server that I aim to have up as close to 24/7 as possible - and it will be remotely located - so i was searching for something other than the CD tools in order to check status, etc. with system up. Here is the dmesg section pertaining to the card: ips0: <Adaptec ServeRAID Adapter> mem 0xe8000000-0xebffffff, 0xe7fff000-0xe7ffffff irq 18 at device 2.0 on pci8 ips0: [GIANT-LOCKED] -- snip -- ips0: resetting adapter, this may take up to 5 minutes ips0: adapter type: ServeRAID 6i (sebring) ips0: logical drives: 2 ips0: Logical Drive 0: RAID0 sectors: 71096320, state OK ips0: Logical Drive 1: RAID5 sectors: 142192640, state OK ipsd0: <Logical Drive> on ips0 ipsd0: Logical Drive (34715MB) ipsd1: <Logical Drive> on ips0 ipsd1: Logical Drive (69430MB) thanks - d.
