OK, I'll give it a try. I see this in lspci
00:10.0 SCSI storage controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic 53c1030 PCI-X
Fusion-MPT Dual Ultra320 SCSI (rev 01)
and this in dmesg
Fusion MPT base driver 3.04.06
Copyright (c) 1999-2007 LSI Corporation
Fusion MPT SPI Host driver 3.04.06
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:10.0[A] -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 16
mptbase: ioc0: Initiating bringup
ioc0: LSI53C1030 B0: Capabilities={Initiator}
scsi4 : ioc0: LSI53C1030 B0, FwRev=00000000h, Ports=1, MaxQ=128, IRQ=16
which then later detects the sdb partitions.
This means that you would need to compile the following into the kernel:
CONFIG_PCI
CONFIG_SCSI
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD
CONFIG_FUSION
CONFIG_FUSION_SPI
plus the filesystem you have formatted the partition with.
But, as said this detects the _second_ device. You also need the drivers for
the first one. If you leave them out, the fusion device will be detected as
_sda_. So you'll also need:
CONFIG_ATA
CONFIG_ATA_PIIX
and eventually
CONFIG_ATA_ACPI
CONFIG_SATA_AHCI
HTH...
