Technically, I would recommend you to check F/W version and make sure it is not higher than 6.61.
I believe the problem happens with 6.62 or higher.
Bingo! megaraid_mbox works for me with F/W 6.61. How did you know?
I enclose a trivial patch that checks for F/W version and displays a
warning if too high. It should make life easier for those who may face
the problem :).
Thank you,
