Subject: [Q] What's the story with MPT Fusion driver versioning?
Date: Thu, 12 Feb 2009 13:40:58 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <a0624046bc5b8a6a6249d@[129.98.90.227]> (raw)
The LSI website distributes three MPT Fusion driver packages on its
website, each with a different version number, 2.06.77.00,
3.13.04.00, and 4.00.43.00. They seem to be tied to specific RedHat
and SUSE releases and clearly one of them had been built for an
earlier kernel.
However, the numbering is wholly out of step with the version in the
mainline kernel, which is presently 3.04.07. By that measure,
one--even LSI tech support--might think it is grossly outdated, but,
in fact, the website packages are dated 8/20/08, which suggests the
opposite.
On top of that, LSI's tech support insists that the driver in the
mainline kernel isn't "certified," and, therefore, they can't support
it, which doesn't seem to make much sense.
