Greetings All!

As I can see LSI_SCSI_ENABLE  related to LSI LSI_53C895A_PCI_DEVICE_ID
Vid/Did 0x1000:0x0012.
I guess it is some old Megaraid adapter.

A patch mentioned above set MPT_SCSI_ENABLE=FALSE, that removed
support for LSI 53C1030 and SAS1068.
These SCSI controllers were emulated  by VMware, Parallels and I guess
VitualBox.
This is generic setup for VMware VMs, as far as I remember.
So the booting of such VMs (probably migrated from VMware  and others)
was definitely broken.

Regards,
Mike.
