MPT Fusion Linux OS Driver Release Notes Driver Version: mptlinux-4.22.00.00-1 13/11/2009 Compatibility: * 53C1020, 53C1030, 53C1035 (Scsi Mode) * FC909, FC919, FC929 * FC919X, FC929X, FC929XL, FC939X, FC949X, FC949ES * SAS 1064, 1068 * SAS 1064E, 1068E, 1078E Special Notes For This Build: * No special notes available at this time. Current Errata * MSI Interrupts are disabled by default. To enable them, utilize the mpt_msi_enable_sas option in mptbase. * These drivers do not include disk dump support that is sometimes added by certain distro's. This appears to be replaced by kdump. Here is help for using kdump: http://lse.sourceforge.net/kdump/ * Kdump doesn’t work for flashless controllers. * Fusion.mptctl will not be provided on RHEL5 Gold DUDs, nor KMP RPMS. This is the service script that autoloads the mptctl driver. You will find this only on SLES10 DUDS, RHEL5 Update 1 & 2 DUDS and generic RPMS (found in rpm-1 folder). * Due to increase in size of KMOD based DUD, the RHEL5 U1 & U2 DUD can be used only with thumb drives and Floppy based DUD is not supported from RHEL5 U1 onwards. * This driver reports the physical disks in channel 0 and all IR volumes in channel 1, whereas the MPT BIOS reports the drives and volumes in the order of target ID reported by MPT FW. Hence when the Linux OS is installed in an IR volume, the user has to make sure that the boot loader is installed in proper disk and should also ensure that the device numbering is set as required, in the boot loader configuration files.
