Hello,

I try to run Linux on Primergy TX200. Unfortunately, there is a problem
with the SCSI driver for the controller Adaptec AIC-7902W.

There are modules in the Linux kernel which should support this adapter,
but the module doesn't actually load. I don't have access to this
computer right now so I can't provide the exact error message.

The manufacturer provides the driver, in the form of compiled kernel
modules, which are for some particular SuSE and Red Hat Enterprise
distributions. Of course I would like to run other distribution. The
only problem is this SCSI driver. The manufacturer provides the source
for the driver, but it is not in the form on nice patch. It's just
tarred ditectory without a README file.

Does anybody run Linux on TX200? And if yes, how?
