Simply install the new kernel and let us know if everything works as expected, no need for IDRAC access. The updated kernel is now also available in stretch-proposed-updates, which can be added via the following apt source: deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ stretch-proposed-updates main Cheers, Moritz
Bug#890034: Backport of Perc 740/840 for Stretch
Hi, I've pulled a number of upstream commits for the megaraid_sas driver which add support for the Perc 740/840 RAID controllers to the Stretch kernel. Successfully tested with a H840 on a current Dell PowerEdge R440 and I've also tested the built kernel on a system which was previously supported by the megaraid_sas driver (LSI MegaRAID SAS 2008 (Perc H310 Mini)) and that continues to work fine as well. Test debs (I'd appreciate more tests on MegaRAID controllers, the 740 should be identical to the 840 except that it allows for less drives) are at https://people.debian.org/~jmm/perc/ Merge request at https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/linux/merge_requests/61 Cheers, Moritz

We have some spare hardware with a H740P installed. Would having access to the IDRAC to run some tests help? -Original Message- From: Moritz Muehlenhoff Sent: 14 September 2018 11:38 To: 890...@bugs.debian.org; 890...@bugs.debian.org; 891...@bugs.debian.org; 891...@bugs.debian.org Cc: cui...@lenovo.com; doru.iorgules...@gmail.com; vdanj...@debian.org; Phil Lavin Subject: Backport of Perc 740/840 for Stretch Hi, I've pulled a number of upstream commits for the megaraid_sas driver which add support for the Perc 740/840 RAID controllers to the Stretch kernel.

Yep, I hope to find some time for that tomorrow. Cheers, Moritz
