Perhaps. Could you send a full output? It does not appear that
the
aic94xx driver is loading at all...?
Duh again. I thought I had added the module to the initrd, but that
didn't happen.
Ok, I'm one step further. Where can I get the binary firmware the
adapter asks for?
The new sequencer has yet to be posted. You can, however, use the
old
f/w in the meantime by backing out patch #38:
http://sweaglesw.net/~djwong/docs/sas_ata-patches/38-aic94xx-v28-
sequencer_2.patch
Ok, did that. I now manage to load the module after boot when
running rmmod aic94xx and then modprobe aic94xx. However, I cannot
get it to load the firmware on boot. I've tried modifying the
initram-fs image and placing the module in both /lib/firmware/ and /
lib/firmware/2.6.20-rc5/ but it seems not to find the firmware
(aic94xx-seq.fw) in any of those locations.
If I reload the module after booting, it will find the firmware in /
lib/firmware/2.6.20-rc5 without problems.
Any tips?
Your initramfs needs to have hotplug scripts that can handle firmware
loading. I'm pretty sure that is what is missing, because I just went
through the same thing with a QLogic FC driver.
