[elrepo] drivers for older HP

[Tuan Hoang]

 Regarding HP DL 380 G4 Compaq Computer Corporation Smart Array 64xx [0e11:0046]:   
   - This only supports 32-bit processors, correct?  You'll need to either find a supported distro (i.e. https://archlinux32.org/) or try something experimental like this:  https://forums.rockylinux.org/t/rocky-linux-9-for-32-bit-i686/16312
   - The Smart Array 64xx [0e11:0046] is supported by the old cciss driver.  You'll have to figure out which route you want to go for Linux first.

 Regarding HP DL 380 G6 Hewlett-Packard Company Smart Array G6 controllers [103c:323a] rev 01:   
   - These use Intel Xeon X56xx CPU's, so that is x86-64-v2 and will officially be supported up to EL9
   - The Smart Array G6 controllers [103c:323a] should supported by the ELRepo kmod-hpsa (see https://elrepo.org/wiki/doku.php?id=deviceids#kmod-hpsa)

Good luck and happy holidays!

Hi !
 
In a few weeks I expect to “retire” 2 old servers from their current duties.

On the G6, I guess the driver for running el8 or el9 should be dd-hpsa-3.4.20 from elrepo (if not, please correct me).
 
What about the G4? I believe the server is running with the cciss module. What would be the correct one to download?
  
 Since EL9 has a base requirement of x86_64-v2 and those are positively historic machines I would not expect either of them to boot an EL9 kernel at all.
