I have a gentoo install (currently amd64/2007.0) with all of the current up to date packages. I have been trying to upgrade the kernel for quite a while now. The last kernel I can still seem to get running is 2.6.20-gentoo-r8. I've tried upgrading to every kernel as they have entered into portage, and none since 2.6.20-r8 seems to be able to find the Vmware "SCSI" disk.
The most recent try was gentoo-sources-2.6.25-r6, which failed the same way. I've tried to download a 2008.0 current boot CD; that has the same problem. I've also tried SystemRescueCd, which does the same, but since 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 works with no issues. I've tried using the drivers compiled in as well as modules, both with the same disappointing results. Any suggestions? The actual device detected with the older kernel is: scsi0 : ioc0: LSI53C1030, FwRev=00000000h, Ports=1, MaxQ=128, IRQ=17 According to the kernel help, this should be supported by the MPT ScsiHost driver for SPI, which is selected... -- Matthew Daubenspeck http://oddprocess.org Gentoo Linux x86_64 Dual Core AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 165 10:51:06 up 247 days, 1:38, 4 users, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
