I have a server with a built-in LSI SAS 1068 controller and 2 SAS drives that 
has been running amd64 etch for two years without any problems.  I recently 
upgraded the system from etch to lenny (stable) and after the upgrade the 
system would boot but could not find the disk drives.  I checked under /dev and 
there were indeed no disk drives.  So I tried to install the current lenny 5.01 
stable amd64-netinst from scratch and it also halted being unable to find any 
disk drives.  I tried choosing each of the mpt drivers manually (including the 
obvious candidate mptsas) but it didn't help.  Finally I tried the today's 
05/11/09 squeeze amd64-netinst and it detected the disk drives without any 
problems.  So to my mind there are two distinct (but related) bugs: (1) lenny 
amd64-netinst doesn't detect the disk drives and (2) the etch-to-lenny upgrade 
doesn't make sure that it can find the disk drives before allowing the upgrade 
to go forward.

Where do I report these bugs?  Also how do I report these bugs since the system 
is currently not working.   Thanks.
