Please use lio-core.git/master for your qla2xxx / tcm_qla2xxx testing, and make sure to grab the latest HEAD from this afternoon: commit c851cb5a4043e11ae7844dc8a01d4787a4cc9573 Author: Nicholas Bellinger <nab@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Feb 13 01:26:48 2012 -0800 qla_target/tcm_qla2xxx: Fix TMR_ABORT_TASK with target mode usage > So now the target is running the LIO kernel, it is booted and (mostly) > happy. > > I was apparently successful in configuring using targetcli, at least > from the standpoint of creating a FILEIO backstore and linking it to > tcm_fc as lun 0.

Also, could you try manually loading qla2xxx + tcm_qla2xxx to see if 'mkdir /sys/kernel/config/target/qla2xxx' can create the top level fabric configfs group directly..?
