Built LSI SAS RAID driver: unknown symbol error at load
Hi Folks,
I'm attempting to get the RAID controller (and the SAS drives hooked to
it that I paid so much money for [sigh]) visible to Debian.
The kernel version is:
2.6.18-6-amd64 #1 SMP Sun Feb 10 17:50:19 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Running on a Supermicro *H8DM3-2 motherboard (with on-board *LSI
SAS1068E Controller)
lspci reports the controller as:
02:00.0 SCSI storage controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic Unknown
device 0059 (rev 04)
LSI provides a source tar ball (good for them!) and although the driver
source apparently compiled successfully, it would not load.
/var/log/kern.log says:
mptbase: no version for "struct_module" found: kernel tainted.
Fusion MPT base driver 4.00.21.00

mptsas: Unknown symbol scsi_is_sas_phy_local

Any suggestions most appreciated.
(A side note: The mptsas driver supplied with the etch release loads
fine, but, apparently doesn't support the controller:
modinfo mptsas
suggests it does not support the model 0059. Lists 0050, 0054, 0056,
0058, & 0062.)
Thanks!
John
