[SOLVED] F16 Hardware Compatability list

[mcojettech737]

I was trying to find the hardware compatability list for F16. In particular i was trying to find if F16 has "native" support for the LSI MegaRaid sas 8704EM2 Raid Controller.

Looks like it does...

Looks like the support has been in the kernel since F13.

LSI was supplying drivers for Fedora up to F13, but then stopped, probably because the support was already in Fedora after that point.

LSI is still putting out the utilities, though. There are several versions of the MegaRAID storage manager, and MegaCLI and even some firmware updates available from LSI
