Bug#690100: Debian 6.0.6 d-i image fails to see HP RAID controller
 

Package: src:linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.32-46

Tried to do an install on an HP Gen8 blade server today which has a SAS
RAID controller. This wasn't detected during d-i; I got at:

hpsa 0000:03:00.0: unrecognized board ID: 0x3355103c, ignoring.

error in dmesg. I flipped to a console and tried:

# modprobe -r hpsa
# modprobe hpsa hpsa_allow_any=1

and then was able to see my sda RAID device. lspci info is:

03:00.0 RAID bus controller [0104]: Hewlett-Packard Company Device [103c:323b] (rev 01)
Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device [103c:3355]

Upstream kernel revision 9143a9612277abc6e4ddced2bc54a120734834c6 looks
appropriate and adds this subsystem ID to the device table.

There have been a whole lot of bug fixes to this driver since the
initial backport so I think a larger update is in order.

Could you test this version backported from 3.2.31:
http://people.debian.org/~benh/driver-test/hpsa.ko
(this is built for 2.6.32-5-amd64, which I assume is what you're using).

Signature for that file:
http://people.debian.org/~benh/driver-test/hpsa.ko.sig

I can confirm this installs, finds the card and correctly sees the
attached HDD.
