This is an issue with the LSI kernel drivers before 2.6.16. This issue exists due to the fact that the driver does not recognize the SAS bus with certain RAID sets. Check this post to see the details on the fixes: http://lwn.net/Articles/172503/ Search for fusion. The key part in the link is the section stating: [SCSI] fusion - mptctl - adding support for bus_type=SAS. There is a patch available to older kernels. This link explores the problems in detail and explains methods for obtaining the kernel patches: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-415813.html I have the patch if anyone needs it.
