Please ignore the above request for help (if it comes through - I sent it 90 minutes ago, and it's not showing up here yet). The drivers were exactly where I'd been told to look for them, but for some reason I still hadn't seen them for looking: Device Drivers ---> Fusion MPT device support ---> <*> Fusion MPT ScsiHost drivers for SPI <*> Fusion MPT ScsiHost drivers for FC <M> Fusion MPT ScsiHost drivers for SAS (40) Maximum number of scatter gather entries (16 - 128) <*> Fusion MPT misc device (ioctl) driver <M> Fusion MPT LAN driver [*] Fusion MPT logging facility I was completely confused that these weren't under: Device Drivers ---> SCSI device support ---> SCSI low-level drivers ---> which is where I found the "LSI MPT Fusion SAS 2.0 Device Driver" mentioned in my previous post. There is undoubtedly a good reason for this.
