Looks like it uses the LSI SAS2008 chipset (basically LSI controller |
| 10 |
with HP branding), so you should enable kernel module mpt2sas |
| 11 |
(CONFIG_SCSI_MPT2SAS) and probably some other SAS-related options will |
| 12 |
be required as well if you don't already use them. |

I actually just installed a card with this same chipset in my Gentoo |
| 15 |
machine yesterday! I have not attached disks to it yet, as I am |
| 16 |
waiting for the enclosure to be delivered, but so far nothing froze or |
| 17 |
burst into flames when the module loaded. :) I even upgraded the BIOS |
| 18 |
and firmware on the card from within linux and everything seems okay, |
| 19 |
so far. |
