[Bug 37452] Re: fusion mpt sas driver does not find a RAID1 disk during installation(Sun Galaxy X4200 and X4100)

[Bram]

This is an issue with the LSI kernel drivers before 2.6.16. This issue
exists due to the fact that the driver does not recognize the SAS bus
with certain RAID sets.  Check this post to see the details on the
fixes: http://lwn.net/Articles/172503/ Search for fusion. The key part
in the link is the section stating: [SCSI] fusion - mptctl - adding
support for bus_type=SAS. There is a patch available to older kernels.
This link explores the problems in detail and explains methods for
obtaining the kernel patches:
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-415813.html I have the patch if
anyone needs it.
