After messing around with various kernels and drivers, I finnaly got this adaptor to work by changing the define MPI_MANUFACTPAGE_DEVID_SAS1068E to (0x0059) from (0x0058) in drivers/message/fusion/lsi/mpi_cnfg.h:553 I understand this is not the preferred method to say the least. However, it is the only way I could this adaptor running, also my tests show it to be stable... Should I submit a proper patch? Shouldn't this card use the megaraid_sas driver ?! Please indicate against which git url I should base my patch. I am using 2.6.21.3 but I believe this change can be applied to any kernel/git. thanks lmg - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
