It seems there is no driver for the new LSI PCI-Express PERC 4e/Di Raid
controllers yet.

Anyone have a workaround. The customer bought the machine without
checking out the support for this version of Dell's Perc Raid
controllers.

Well, you could:
1. install Linux on it
2. Try a MegaRAID2 driver

Keith,

The notes in the CHWP (www.sco.com/chwp)for the 2800 certification
state:

Certified on Openserver 5.0.6A and 5.0.7 using the PERC4E/SI
controller. 5.0.7MP3 was installed for

the certification of
Openserver 5.0.7

Customer will need to contact their DELL sales rep. to obtain the
required driver for this
controller.

SCO are working with LSI to release a new version of the amird driver
that will include support for the Dell PERC 4e. I dont have an date for
availability at this time.
