I'm trying to get an LSI MegaRAID SATA 300-X8 controller to work on a Debian/sarge system with kernel 2.6.11-9-em64t-p4-smp from unstable. The megaraid_mbox module is loaded and seems to identify the controller, but whenever I try to access the disk, I get SCSI errors, the controller alarm goes off, and upon inspection in the BIOS, the first SATA disc is marked `FAILED'. Reconfiguring the RAID lets me restart the whole process.
Following up to myself, I compiled my own kernel 2.6.11.11 and things appear to work so far. Known problem that has been fixed, or worth investigating?
I would also appreciate pointers to sites, mailing lists, or people likely to know how to configure things for maximum speed. (I've got two SATA RAID controllers with 6 discs each, and I need > 300MB/s reading speed through the filesystem. So far, I was thinking of doing XFS over MD-RAID0 over two hardware RAID0, and things look rather promising.)
