| Summary | 0000986: Add CentOS 8.1 driver support for sata_sil24 driver | ||||
| Description | I have been a Fedora user since v1 but decided recently to switch to CentOS. CentOS 8.1 came out and I replaced Fedora 30 with it on my 7-year-old file server, with a JBOD of 2TB WD Reds using software RAID 6. All went well with the install on two mirrored 256GB SSD until I noticed it does not see my JBOD/Software RAID drives upon completion of the install. I use Addonics AD5SARPM-E port multipliers for the JBOD. From some research, it appears these drivers were deprecated in RedHat 7 and removed in RedHat 8. I am surprised they still exist in Fedora, which seems the reverse of what I would expect. All that said, thanks to excellent help on the CentOS forum from toracat, I have learned I need the sata_sil24 driver. Can a kmod rpm please be created for this? Also a DUD though I am hopeful not to have to reinstall CentOS 8.1 01:00.0 RAID bus controller [0104]: Silicon Image, Inc. SiI 3132 Serial ATA Raid II Controller [1095:3132] (rev 01) Thank you! | ||||
| Additional Information | The lspci -nn output for my Addonics port multiplier is: 01:00.0 RAID bus controller [0104]: Silicon Image, Inc. SiI 3132 Serial ATA Raid II Controller [1095:3132] (rev 01) | ||||

Ack. We will release the kmod to the testing repo when it's ready. |
|
|
The following files/packages have been built and will be syncing to our mirror sites: DUD dd-sata_sil24-0.0-1.el8_1.elrepo.iso dd-sata_sil24-0.0-1.el8_1.elrepo.SHA256SUM.asc kmod (elrepo-testing repo) kmod-sata_sil24-0.0-1.el8_1.elrepo.x86_64.rpm Please test and let us know if they work for you. |

I installed the kmod rpm and that did it! Thank you very much! I am able to see all drives on the port multiplier and the RAID 6 was already assembled and ready to mount after the reboot completed. PS - note for the record that I have not tested the DUD, though of course I have every reason to believe it would work just as successfully as the kmod package did. |

Thanks for reporting back. Glad to hear the success. We will move the kmod package to the main repository. |
