Hi, I've recently bought a mainboard that's equipped with a device that is identified (by lspci) as LSI SAS8208ELP (Vendor ID 0x1000, Device ID 0x0059). It's not currently supported by the Linux kernel, but appears to be working with the mpt fusion sas driver. echo "0x1000 0x0059" >/sys/bus/pci/drivers/mptsas/new_id brings the chip online. It seems I'm not the only one with this chip, see http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-731366.html http://bugs.gentoo.org/325805 http://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=236721 (patch to add the device ID) http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1519373 and more. Since LSI seems to only provide closed source drivers for far obsolete and limited "enterprise" distribution kernels I'd suggest the inclusion of the PCI IDs into the kernel.
