The megaraid_sas driver in the current linux-2.6 (stable) git tree has
support for this adapter, the LSI SAS2 "SKINNY." I've cherrypicked the
updated driver into the latest Lucid kernel and uploaded to this PPA:

https://launchpad.net/~jwm/+archive/lp546091

(Note that the built kernel is based on the next Lucid kernel update,
2.6.32-24.42. Currently, the only difference between .42 and .41 are
some fixes in the i915 graphics driver.)

I'll try to keep the PPA kernel up-to-date, but I can't make any
guarantees.

Also, I'm netbooting to install, so I'm adding the newer scsi-modules
udeb to the initrd like so:

[...@boost:pts/1 ~> wget -q
