Hello everyone, First, i would like to thank Darrick Wong for pointing me to the sequencer code for the AIC94xx. Thanks to him, i was able to get my SAS drives to work. Currently, my boot partition is located on an IDE drive. The aic94xx loads successfully because the kernel has no problem detecting the IDE drive. However, i would like to boot linux from the SAS drive that is attached to the adaptec controller. I tried building the aic94xx as a part of the kernel. During the boot process, there is an error stating that the firmware cannot be loaded (error -2). I also tried including the aic94xx module and the firmware on an external initrd image. The kernel panic right after the ramdisk fails to load. I suspect it is because the initrd image is located on the SAS drive which is inaccessible at the moment. If anyone knows a simple way to enable to boot linux from a SAS drive attached to the adaptec SAS controller, please tell me.
