Answer was a comment, not a solution

Actually, my Comment was a query. Do you really expect 8-year-old NOS drivers to work with the still-wet-new hardware?

Attempting to install Netware 5.1 on an IBM xseries 3650 with a ServeRAID 8K &quot;0 slot&quot; SAS controller. Firmware and drivers are version 8.4 <br />
Tried various versions of IPSRAID and AACRAID HAM &amp;&nbsp;DDI, all to no avail, regardless of the controller slot number specified (choices are 10023, 10024, 10025). &nbsp;Boot display shows SCSI controller in PCI slot 4 (?) <br />

Beginning to suspect that NW 5.1 isn't going to be do-able on this hardware - &nbsp;wondering if anyone has successfully implemented this combination and if so , how? TIA &nbsp;

IBM ServeRAID compatibilty with Netware 5.1

NetWare is a computer network operating system developed by Novell, Inc. It initially used cooperative multitasking to run various services on a personal computer, using the Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX) network protocol. It is hardware-independent, running on any suitable Intel-based PC compatible system, and a wide range of network cards. Products inclue NetWare Directory Services (NDS), a global directory service similar to Microsoft's Active Directory; GroupWise, an email system; ZENworks, an application configuration suite; and BorderManager, a security product. Open Enterprise Server, the current iteration, runs on a SUSE Linux Enterprise Server.
