I have a gentoo install (currently amd64/2007.0) with all of the current |
| 2 |
up to date packages. I have been trying to upgrade the kernel for quite |
| 3 |
a while now. The last kernel I can still seem to get running is |
| 4 |
2.6.20-gentoo-r8. I've tried upgrading to every kernel as they have |
| 5 |
entered into portage, and none since 2.6.20-r8 seems to be able to find |
| 6 |
the Vmware "SCSI" disk. |

The most recent try was gentoo-sources-2.6.25-r6, which failed the same |
| 9 |
way. I've tried to download a 2008.0 current boot CD; that has the same |
| 10 |
problem. I've also tried SystemRescueCd, which does the same, but since |
| 11 |
it was based on gentoo, I wasn't too hopeful of it working. |

With 2.6.20-gentoo-r8 I am using the Fusion MPT device support and it |
| 14 |
works with no issues. I've tried using the drivers compiled in as well |
| 15 |
as modules, both with the same disappointing results. Any suggestions? |

The actual device detected with the older kernel is: |

|
| 19 |
scsi0 : ioc0: LSI53C1030, FwRev=00000000h, Ports=1, MaxQ=128, IRQ=17 |

|

According to the kernel help, this should be supported by the MPT |
| 22 |
ScsiHost driver for SPI, which is selected... |
