[Bug 37452] Re: fusion mpt sas driver does not find a RAID1 disk during installation(Sun Galaxy X4200 and X4100, Dell SASR5/i)

[Cedric Schieli]

Hi Zachary,


As mentioned earlier in this thread, I could successfully install  LTS on a Poweredge 860 by applying a bunch of patches backported from 2.6.16 (see earlier my posts for the list)

Here is the path I've followed :
- patch and build the sources corresponding to the installer's kernel (2.6.15-26-386)
- patch and build the sources of latest LTS linux-server (2.6.15-61-server)
- launch the installer
- when the network is up and running, upload (via ssh) the mpt modules from the 2.6.15-26-386 patched kernel into the installer's filesystem
- depmod, modprobe
- finish the install
- before the reboot, upload and install (in the chroot) the 2.6.15-61-server linux-image package

I've setup a repository containing the latest packages with the patches applied (2.6.15-61sdrik) :
