Currently our hardware database lists pci ID 1028:0013 as supported by the megaraid module. Why did you need megaraid_mm and megaraid_mbox instead of the regular megaraid module for this card?

AIUI you need to turn on some kernel options that are not enabled by default on stock kernels for support for large quantities of memory. You could file a bug report on your kernel image package about that if you like. -- see shy jo
