Don't feel stupid. Dell doesn't make it too easy. The on-board controller
may be an LSI logic chip, but (as explained to me by a Dell tech) when you
add the RAID riser card it takes over the LSI chip and it won't work with
the LSI driver. Or something like that. Anyway, be sure to look at the
mailing lists and other good stuff at http://linux.dell.com - I found lots
of good Linux info there for the PowerEdge.
