3. Adaptec Series 7 and 8 RAID Controllers and Linux Distributions OS List: What Operating Systems are supported with the 8405, 8805, 8885, 8885Q, 81605Z, and 81605ZQ? Listing of Linux drivers and supported kernels for driver packages 1.1.5-2429.

Adaptec Series 7 and 8 RAID controllers have significant changes in their underlying hardware architecture compared to Series 5 controllers and older. These changes require updated drivers, so the existing Adaptec AACRAID driver that has been inbox for years, will not load for these newer controllers. An updated Linux driver, version 1.1.7-28900, was submitted to http://www.kernel.org/ for inclusion into the upstream kernel. It was officially included with the release of the 3.4 kernel.
In an effort to clarify the current state of Linux support for Series 7 and 8 RAID controllers, listed below are the facts known as of this update (September 3, 2014):
Linux Support Matrix:

Kernel Version	Inbox Driver Version
3.13 and above	1.2.1-30200
3.6 and above	1.1.7-29800 (async driver)
3.4 and above	1.1.7-28900 (sync driver - less performance than 29800)

Note: Native support of 4K sector disk drives requires AACRAID driver version 1.2.1-40300 or newer.
Listed below are the major distributions we officially support and the current inbox support for Series 7 and 8 RAID controllers:
Red Hat - Red Hat Enterprise Linux (and RHEL derivatives, such as CentOS and Scientific Linux):
The Series 7 and 8 driver is inbox with RHEL 6.4 and later. Any previous version of RHEL will require our driver be manually installed.
Fedora:

Adaptec Raid Controller

Fedora 19 and 20, the only two versions that are currently supported by the Fedora Project, contain inbox support for Series 7 and 8.
SUSE - SUSE Linux Enterprise Server:
The Series 7 and 8 driver is inbox with SLES 11 SP3. Any previous version of SLES will require our driver be manually installed.

In a continued effort to improve our Linux support with Series 7 and 8, we provide minimally tested drivers. These minimally tested drivers do not undergo the same rigorous qualification testing as our full release drivers, but are updated more frequently allowing greater synchronized support for currently available versions of Linux we support. Please see Answer ID 17202 for details about minimally tested drivers.

Alternatively, if you are using a distribution with a kernel that is not mentioned here as supported / minimally supported, then you can compile drivers yourself using the Adaptec source code and DKMS package from the support site.
