OpenSUSE 11.4 LSI SAS 9211-8i support

Hello,

I am a OpenSUSE noob…

I have been trying to get my OpenSUSE 11.4 system working with my LSI SAS 9211-8i controller (flashed to IT-mode), but I am not getting anywhere. The system will not boot the regular kernel when the card is in the system, it just resets after I select the kernel to boot.

When I boot the failsafe kernel, it boots fine.

To me it looks like I do not have support of the SAS 9211 (mpt2sas) in the kernel.

I tried rebuilding a kernel with this driver compiled into the kernel, with the same results. I have not been very successful in finding info on how to compile the kernel in OpenSUSE…

If anyone could point me into the right direction, I would be very grateful.

Thanks

Sandi
