we have a supermicro 7046t-6f and the current debian amd64(5.0.4) won’t detect the sas controller (the supposed driver is megaraid_sas) and i already tried kenshi muto’s backported debian images. windows 2k3 didn’t detect it also so i used nlite to add the drivers supplied by lsi (didn’t tried wink28). currently i’m using win2k3 and testing the machine for production.
there are some drivers for linux on lsi website but only for rhel and sles linux. i haven’t tried rhel and sles and no plans on trying either (hehe). i’m used to debian and win2k3 (i know their ins and outs).
i am badly looking for a debian amd64 installer with a modified kernel (updated the megaraid_sas driver)
