Adaptec Storage Manager reports "No controllers were found in this system"



Hello,

I just received a new Dell Precision T5400 and a new Adaptec 2230SLP
SCSI Controller card. This system has been freshy installed with Open
SuSE v10.2. The system is fully patched.

After I install the Adaptec Storage Manager from Adaptec's website,
asm-linux_v2.12_922.rpm, and launch the GUI, the ASM reports "No
controllers were found in this system". I can see the card using the
following:

#lspci

Driver Activation Cmd: "modprobe aacraid"
Config Status: cfg=no, avail=yes, need=no, active=unknown
Attached to: #41 (PCI bridge)

I can also access the Adaptec card during system boot. I don't have
any SCSI storage plugged into it just now but I'm going to attached a
Dell PowerVault 221S and hopefully configure it for RAID50.

Another question, the 2230SLP card is advertised to run up to 133Mhz
in the PCI-X bus. My Dell Precision is advertised to run up to 100Mhz
in its PCI-X slots. Why is my card showing up as running at 66Mhz???
There are no other cards in any of the other PCI-X slots.

Thanks in advance,
