Im running

EMCpower.LINUX-5.0.1-022 on 2.6.18-8.1.14.el5 (x86_64). The array is running
flare 2.19.03. I'm using QLA2340's and driver qla2xxx-v8.01.07.15-2. So far
Dell enterprise support has not figured out the problem. (unfortunately this
array was purchased thru dell; I was not at this company when that decision
was made)

Here is my modprobe.conf:

tango:~ #cat /etc/modprobe.conf
alias eth0 e1000
alias eth1 e1000
alias eth2 e1000
alias eth3 e1000
alias scsi_hostadapter mptbase
alias scsi_hostadapter1 mptspi
install qla2xxx /sbin/modprobe qla2xxx_conf; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install
qla2xxx
remove qla2xxx /sbin/modprobe -r --first-time --ignore-remove qla2xxx && {
/sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove qla2xxx_conf; }
options qla2xxx ql2xfailover=0 ConfigRequired=0
alias scsi_hostadapter2 qla2xxx_conf
alias scsi_hostadapter3 qla2xxx
alias scsi_hostadapter4 qla2300
###BEGINPP
include /etc/modprobe.conf.pp
###ENDPP

And here is modprobe.conf.pp:
tango:~ #cat /etc/modprobe.conf.pp
alias ppemcp emcp
alias ppemcpdm emcpdm
alias ppemcpgpx emcpgpx
alias ppemcpmpx emcpmpx
alias ppemcplib emcplib
#begin-hba-qla2300
install emcp /sbin/modprobe pp_hba; /sbin/modprobe emcp --ignore-install
install pp_hba  /sbin/modprobe qla2300;
#end-hba-qla2300
options emcp managedclass=symm,clariion,hitachi,invista,hpxp,ess,hphsx
