Which kernel, what settings for Poweredge 4300, raid5?

[cayenne]

Hello all,

I'm doing an install now on a Dell Poweredge 4300....PERC2 raid card in it.

Can someone advise me on which kernel will work best? Can I just go with the latest gentoo-sources? This is just going to be a webserver...nothing fancy.

I've been seeing bits and pieces in forum searches about people having serious kernel panics...but, I'm not sure from reading exactly what all kernel parameters I need to set up to handle the hardware raid. I've got raid5 working in the install.....but, not sure what all I need.

Can someone advise on what kernel to use and what specific params I need in kernel config....

I'm not using genkernel...doing it by hand...

Thanks in advance,

cayenne
