AAC driver. No kernel error messages for failed raid5?

[Chris St Denis]

Doesn't seem to work with my IBM ServeRAID 8k

CLI > open /readonly aac0
Executing: open /readonly=TRUE "aac0"
Command Error: <The current AFAAPI.DLL is too old to work with the 
current controller software.>

Seems a little odd it's referencing a dll (which doesn't exist on the 
system)
