mptsas support with hardened

Post #1 of 4 (1616 views)

Hi Guys,

Yesterday I ran a fresh install of hardened on my Dell Server, however
I ran into a small problem.

One of my controllers needs mptsas support, can I compile/build this
into my kernel fairly easily? (im by no means a kernel guru)

Or would I be better of running another set of sources that supports
this by default (gentoo-sources doesn't either, so most likely vanilla
or the sources used by sysrescuecd)

I have all my information in a forum post here:

Hello,

this is not a hardened-specific question. But the answer is simple: you
have to enable "Device Drivers" -> "Fusion MPT device support" ->
"Fusion MPT ScsiHost drivers for SAS" in nconfig/menuconfig/etc.

Thanks, someone on irc convinced me that hardened had been compiled without
mptsas support and now only contained mpt2sas, thanks very much.

Fwiw I have been happily using this with hardened for 5+ years now :)
