Raid With Suse Linux

Hello i have a linux suse server and im having problems installing a highpoint rocket raid 2220 driver.

The raid card is a pci card made buy highpoint tech on there web site they have the linux suse server driver i now have that driver on the desktop but dont know how to install it.

The lunix system is seeing the 8 port raid card , but i think it has the wrong driver, coz the raid set (raid 5) does not show up and a drive on desk top.

went the linux becouse windows xp pro does not alow volumes over 2 tb

this raid 5 set is 2.8tb

any halp would be grate.

AACRAID(4)						   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 						AACRAID(4)

NAME

     aacraid -- Adaptec AACRAID Controller driver

SYNOPSIS

     To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file:

	   device pci
	   device aacraid

	   To compile in debugging code:
	   options AACRAID_DEBUG=N

     Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):

	   aacraid_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION

     The aacraid driver provides support for the Adaptec by PMC RAID controllers, including Series 6/7/8 and upcoming families.

     The RAID containers are handled via the aacraidp0 bus.  The physical buses are represented by the aacraidp? devices (beginning with
     aacraidp1). These devices enable the SCSI pass-thru interface and allows devices connected to the card such as CD-ROMs to be available via
     the CAM scsi(4) subsystem.  Note that not all cards allow this interface to be enabled.

     The /dev/aacraid? device nodes provide access to the management interface of the controller.  One node exists per installed card.	If the
     kernel is compiled with the COMPAT_LINUX option, or the aacraid_linux.ko and linux.ko modules are loaded, the Linux-compatible ioctl(2)
     interface for the management device will be enabled and will allow Linux-based management applications to control the card.

HARDWARE

     Controllers supported by the aacraid driver include:

     o	 Adaptec ASR-6405(T|E)
     o	 Adaptec ASR-6445
     o	 Adaptec ASR-6805(T|E|Q|TQ)
     o	 Adaptec ASR-7085
     o	 Adaptec ASR-7805(Q)
     o	 Adaptec ASR-70165
     o	 Adaptec ASR-71605(E|Q)
     o	 Adaptec ASR-71685
     o	 Adaptec ASR-72405
     o	 Adaptec Series 8 cards

FILES

     /dev/aacraid?	      aacraid management interface

DIAGNOSTICS

     Compiling with AACRAID_DEBUG set to a number between 0 and 3 will enable increasingly verbose debug messages.

     The adapter can send status and alert messages asynchronously to the driver.  These messages are printed on the system console, and are also
     queued for retrieval by a management application.

BUGS

     The controller is not actually paused on suspend/resume.
