LSI Logic Megaraid CERC ATA/100 doesn't detect disks

Hi,

I'm investigating moving some Dell 600SC machines from FreeBSD to Debian Linux (etch) in order to reduce workload in maintaining them - FreeBSD is a real lot of work.

However my RAID card doesn't detect any logical volumes attached to it... even if I break the RAID, it doesn't detect any of the disks.

megaraid cmm: 2.20.2.7 (Release Date: Sun Jul 16 00:01:03 EST 2006)
megaraid: 2.20.4.9 (Release Date: Sun Jul 16 12:27:22 EST 2006)
megaraid: probe new device 0x101e:0x1960:0x1028:0x0511: bus 0:slot 7:func 0
megaraid: fw version:[6.62] bios version:[1.03]
scsi0 : LSI Logic MegaRAID driver
scsi[0]: scanning scsi channel 0 [Phy 0] for non-raid devices
scsi[0]: scanning scsi channel 1 [Phy 1] for non-raid devices
scsi[0]: scanning scsi channel 2 [Phy 2] for non-raid devices
scsi[0]: scanning scsi channel 3 [Phy 3] for non-raid devices
scsi[0]: scanning scsi channel 4 [virtual] for logical drives

But if I boot up FreeBSD or Windows, it works great. Suggestions?

Regards,
Peter
