[Question] Bringing up a LSI 53C1030 scsi controller on 2.6.15-rc6

[maxim not this time <maximvex@gmail.com>]

Hi,

Kernel : 2.6.14@patch-2.6.15-rc6
Distro : Mandriva 2006.0
Machine : HP xw9300 workstation

Target Device : LSI 53C1030 scsi


I'm trying to compile my kernel to support this device, since the
driver has been accepted into  2.6.15-rc5 I hope to get it working for
me as well.

I booted the new kernel from an ATA harddrive, and trying to get the
scsi driver up so that I could talk to the device.

For some reason - The driver fails to find the controller.

What am I doing wrong ?


b.t.w
Can I somehow just "od" from the pci path of the device to see that
it's working (to rule out a hardware problem) ?


Thank you.
