Hi: The one I have is the LSI Logic Fusion 53C1030. That's what Redhat finds when I boot up with RH 8.0. Regarding the error that the module reports, this is what it says:
'The loading has failed' in the installation screen, and when I go to the messages screen, I see this: [date, and time] (none) user.info dbootstrap[80]: Warning: loading mptbase.o will taint the kernel: forced load [date, and time] (none) user.info dbootstrap[80]: mptbase.o: init_module: No such device [date, and time] (none) user.info dbootstrap[80]: Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters [date, and time] (none) user.err dbootstrap[80]: The loading has failed Therefore, it seems that it wants me to pass it some parameters. I then try to install mptscsih.o, but I get a lot of error messages (I assume the mptbase.o has to be sucessfully loaded first): [date, and time] (none) user.info dbootstrap[80]: mptscsih.o: unresolved symbol mpt_reset_deregister [date, and time] (none) user.info dbootstrap[80]: mptscsih.o: unresolved symbol mpt_reset_deregister [date, and time] (none) user.info dbootstrap[80]: mptscsih.o: unresolved symbol mpt_free_msg_frame [date, and time] (none) user.info dbootstrap[80]: mptscsih.o: unresolved symbol mpt_register [date, and time] (none) user.info dbootstrap[80]: mptscsih.o: unresolved symbol mpt_put_msg_frame [date, and time] (none) user.info dbootstrap[80]: mptscsih.o: unresolved symbol mpt_v_ASCQ_TableSz [date, and time] (none) user.info dbootstrap[80]: mptscsih.o: unresolved symbol mpt_adapter_find_next [date, and time] (none) user.info dbootstrap[80]: mptscsih.o: unresolved symbol mpt_reset_register [date, and time] (none) user.info dbootstrap[80]: mptscsih.o: unresolved symbol mpt_event_register [date, and time] (none) user.info dbootstrap[80]: mptscsih.o: unresolved symbol mpt_ScsiOpcodesPtr [date, and time] (none) user.info dbootstrap[80]: mptscsih.o: unresolved symbol mpt_send_handshake_request [date, and time] (none) user.info dbootstrap[80]: mptscsih.o: unresolved symbol mpt_deregister [date, and time] (none) user.info dbootstrap[80]: mptscsih.o: unresolved symbol mpt_get_msg_frame [date, and time] (none) user.info dbootstrap[80]: The loading has failed Thanks for your response, Jorge M.

I tried the 'mptbase.o' and 'mptscsih.o' drivers, which I think are > the correct ones for my hardware. I also tried many others just for kicks. The question is - which controller is it? LSI Logic Fusion or Symbios-based series?

It is hard to say what is going wrong without having such hardware to test and without knowing what actually the module reports to you.
