mptlinux for newer kernel

Fri, 22 Oct 2010 10:42:49 -0700 

Hi,

I'm using SAS controllers (SAS 6/iR and SAS 5/E) in some of my machines which 
use the mptlinux
driver.

It seems that even recent kernels still come with version 3.04.15 while OMSA 
complains that the
minimum supported version is 3.12.29.00.

I usually installed version 4.18 from LSI via dkms on my Ubuntu machines. 
Unfortunately even
the newest release 4.22 does not compile with a newer kernel, e.g. 2.6.35 that 
comes with
Ubuntu 10.10.

I found a partial patch on the kernel.org bugzilla, but it does not resolve all 
problems:

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16010

Are there any kernel hackers or LSI developers here that could help with that?

Does anybody know if there is a new version of the driver planned?

I'm attaching the build log.

Best regards,
Karsten
