Hi. =)

I'm trying to install the SL 5.5, against the Serverboard Intel
S500XSL<http://www.intel.com/p/en_US/support/highlights/server/s5000xsl>and
its on-board Intel® Embedded Server RAID Technology II RAID (Intel®
ESRT-2 SATA & SAS Software RAID). I'm fighting five days in this battle =).
I have two servers with this hardware configuration.

I followed the instructions in the Intel's Support:

But i didn't have success.

I tried the RHEL 5.3, to test the driver files. The installation occurred
with no probs, I used the boot kernel parameters: "linux dd" and the megasr
driver files (megasr-14.00.1203.2010-1-rhel50-u3-all.img). The RHEL 5.3
recognized the raid controller.
I tried all images (and drive files) against the SL 5.5, but all failed.

What can I do?  Any ideas?
