Hello everyone.

Running into a bit of a problem installing 4.9 on a IBM X series server.

The server has 3 SCSI drives with a servRAID card. I have RAID 5 configured 
on it.

4.9 did not detect the drives, so im wondering if it even supports it or if 
there is a driver I can d/l to use and boot to it.

Here is some output from a second server running *coughLinuxcough*:

SvrWks CSB5: IDE controller at PCI slot 00:0f.1
SvrWks CSB5: chipset revision 147
SvrWks CSB5: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later
