I have downloaded the Megacli and, using rpm2cpio extracted
MegaCli-1.01.09-0.i386.rpm into my home directory.

~/usr/sbin/MegaCli
brandelf -t Linux usr/sbin/MegaCli

cd usr/sbin

# ./MegaCli -EncInfo -aALL

ERROR:Could not detect controller.
# ./MegaCli -CfgDsply -aALL

ERROR:Could not detect controller.

Do I actually need to set up the links in /compat/linux/sys for the SAS
raid card? or should this rpm be installed into the /compat/linux
directory? I need to upgrade the firmware on this card as for some
reason the webbios will not let me configure a Raid10 array and the only
way I can see to upgrade the fw is to use the megacli utility.

Thanks,

Sven
