Hi SGI'er,

I know this has been covered before in Nekochan, but can someone (Jan-Jaap, Hamei, Ian ??) advise on whether anyone has found SGI / IRIX Firmware for LSI 1068 PCI-X SAS/SATA Card.

I have two LSI SAS3442X-R boards, one in O350 and one I have just installed in Fuel,

The fuel complains on boot about the firmware version installed on the LSI board:



>> Sep 29 21:11:18 1A:pink unix: ALERT: /hw/module/001c01/Ibrick/xtalk/14/pci/2/scsi_ctlr/0:  Old SAS firmware.  Download new fw with lsflash

As others have found there is no 1068 firmware in /usr/firmware/ls .

So is there a patch (other than patchSG0007209 which has firmware for LSI 1030 & 949) which has SGI / IRIX preferred firmware ?

Needless to say I got this card for $30 on eBay and it had very old firmware and even complained when put into PC that it had "Beta Software" installed.

The Broadcom Support site does not appear to have firmware for a card this old (mine is reporting as LSI 1068(A0) ) and I cannot find any more recent A0 version firmware (just BX & CX versions).

Advise from those who have been down this route before would be helpful.

Cheers from Oz,



John.
