If you want to find out more about the module, as root use
- Code: Select all
modinfo sata_sil24
rpm -q --whatprovides can only be used to query rpm provides.
For the firmware version, from what I read the vendors only offer firmware upgrade tools that run mostly under windows.
See e.g. bullet 2. at
http://stupidstuffihadtofix.blogspot.co ... h-cfi.html which mentions this briefly.
You don't want it to be running in RAID mode, it needs to be running in JBOD (just a bunch of disks) mode. Either you can do that in the BIOS for the card itself,
as mostly such adapters have a small settings tool separat from the BIOS/UEFI of your box - if I'm correct you should be able to open that via F4 during boot.
Or you need to flash a different firmware - maybe the different original firmware are also on the CD that came with the card.
Have a look at e.g.

they also offer a DOS update tool which you could add onto a FreeDOS boot media.
