fusion mpt not loaded or installed by default?

[V]

This package needs to include the drivers for the LSI Logic Fusion MPT (U320)
SCSI chipset and the LSI/AMI MegaRAID products.

Because this support is not present in cdrom-detect, the Ubuntu installer fails
if the CD-ROM is SCSI and attached to an aforementioned SCSI card.

The Ubuntu installer fails if the CD-ROM is attached to an aforementioned SCSI
card, since drivers for these cards are not loaded/probed for.

cdrom-detect does not include any drivers, and shouldn't. The kernel guys can
have this one ...

(I'm surprised; I thought MPT Fusion worked nowadays, thanks to the ia64 guys.)

Hi,

This is not actually a duplicate. The *Fusion MPT chipset* (LSI 1030) is not
the same as the MegaRAID (an AMI series that LSI purchased). In my original
filing of the bug, I was pointing out that the Fusion MPT *and* MegaRAID drivers
do not appear on the current live/installation CDs. However, I am affected by a
lack of Fusion MPT support not MegaRAID.

Please add the output from lspci -v and lsmod.

According to what i have here locally the fusion driver is shipped and in 2.6.10
it can recognize this:

        { PCI_VENDOR_ID_LSI_LOGIC, PCI_DEVICE_ID_LSI_1030_53C1035,

and it is shipped in scsi-extra-modules:

-rw-r--r-- root/root 49293 2005-04-05 15:40:36
./lib/modules/2.6.10-5-386/kernel/drivers/message/fusion/mptbase.ko
-rw-r--r-- root/root 40706 2005-04-05 15:40:36
./lib/modules/2.6.10-5-386/kernel/drivers/message/fusion/mptscsih.ko

so either your controller is not recognized or the installer doesn't grab
scsi-extra-modules or something depmod didn't
generate a proper hotplug/device table.

Hi,
  apparently the kernel/hotplug stuff looks ok.

It would be good if you can provide us with
/lib/modules/<kernel-version>/modules.pcimap and /var/log/syslog
immediatly after the installer fails.

Cheers
