To whom it may concern: I am working with a SuperMicro "Super Server" AS2020A-8RB with an integrated LSI MegaRaid 1068e (Firmware M1068e.01.08221427R). The configuation uses 3x 73 GB SAS drives in a RAID 5 configuration (using the RAID key/iButton). I am trying to get some combination of kernel and driver to detect these drives to know avail. I have tried a variety of boot CDs, pre-compiled modules, and even patching the kernel source myself and compiling the driver on the LSI website. Nothing detects the RAID-5 logical drive. Using vanilla kernel source version 2.6.23.12 and the LSISAS1068E Linux driver version 4.00.13.04-1, I get the following compilation error: # make modules CHK include/linux/version.h CHK include/linux/utsrelease.h CALL scripts/checksyscalls.sh CC [M] drivers/message/fusion/mptsas.o drivers/message/fusion/mptsas.c: In function `mptsas_hotplug_work': drivers/message/fusion/mptsas.c:3605: warning: passing arg 1 of `schedule_delayed_work' from incompatible pointer type drivers/message/fusion/mptsas.c:3651: warning: passing arg 1 of `schedule_delayed_work' from incompatible pointer type drivers/message/fusion/mptsas.c: In function `mptsas_broadcast_primative_work': drivers/message/fusion/mptsas.c:4141: error: structure has no member named `work' drivers/message/fusion/mptsas.c:4141: warning: type defaults to `int' in declaration of `__mptr' drivers/message/fusion/mptsas.c:4141: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type drivers/message/fusion/mptsas.c:4141: error: structure has no member named `work' drivers/message/fusion/mptsas.c: In function `mptsas_reprobe_lun': drivers/message/fusion/mptsas.c:3289: warning: ignoring return value of `scsi_device_reprobe', declared with attribute warn_unused_result make[3]: *** [drivers/message/fusion/mptsas.o] Error 1 make[2]: *** [drivers/message/fusion] Error 2 make[1]: *** [drivers/message] Error 2 make: *** [drivers] Error 2 What is the easiest way to boot up on a LiveCD for Linux to conduct and install that will detect the RAID-5 logical drive on this controller? What is the best combination of kernel and driver source code that I can use on a production system? Please let me know if you have any suggestions or if there are links to a HOWTO or better drivers/patches to use with this hardware.
