Dell Precision 690 SAS drive SUSE Driver?


I've been attempting to install SUSE 10.1 on a Dell Precision 690. This comes with a SAS HD. I've searched everywhere (even called Dell) and they couldn't help. Has anyone been able to find a driver for this? Your help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Hrm, new hard drive type. Cool.
Your most likely out of luck until the technology becomes mainstream instead of a fancy feature. Should have gotten the precision 690 with the SATA instead of optional SAS.

Yes, at this point changing the HD seems to be the least painful option. Ebay here i come...
