I think that is the question to be answered by HP support. Ask them for
technical support for the Linux driver for the 6i and 642. If they
offer support, they should quickly figure out what the problem is. If
they don't provide support, I would send the server back to them if you
can and buy a Sun server with an LSI RAID adapter.
