Hi, 3.13.04.00 is very old version. Can you go for version 3.18.00.00-1 driver version ? To enable debug you have to follow these steps. 1. ./makempt (Is this file present for you ? If not then I can send you.) 2. ./update 3. mkinitrd Thanks Kashyap Desai ________________________________________ From: Dimitris Zilaskos [dzila@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, March 23, 2009 3:33 PM To: Desai, Kashyap Cc: James Bottomley; linux-scsi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx; Moore, Eric; Prakash, Sathya; Mohapatra, Sisir Subject: RE: kernel panics and errors on lsi 1064e ok now i have this: cat /proc/mpt/version mptlinux-3.13.04.00 Fusion MPT base driver Fusion MPT SAS host driver Fusion MPT SPI host driver Fusion MPT ioctl driver but still no debug_level However I did some tricks to get the driver load so I am not sure I did not mess up. a) the included binaries are up to 2.6.9-78 kernel so I used the sources tarball prvided. b) Executed "compile" c) Executed "update" d) c) had problems finding mptscsi.ko which was removed by the process. e) copied the missing files from another node f) ran mkinitrd manually g) rebooted, some complains on dmesg about beeing unable to load mptscsi, other than that server booted fine. Preliminary test with the new driver resulted in no errors, but that's not the same as a real world case. Still the debug_level is not there. Do I need another driver?
