Bug#698821: linux-image-3.2.0-4-amd64: ARECA driver arcmsr is out of date - please update
FTR, It seems newest areca driver is finally merged into vanilla kernel 3.18: http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/log/drivers/scsi/arcmsr/arcmsr_hba.c?id=b2776bf7149bddd1f4161f14f79520f17fc1d71d Unfortunately, neither Wheezy nor Jessie have support for 1214 and there's even regression for 1882 in some configurations (doesn't work on supermicro X10 mobo's). Please, consider backporting areca updates from 3.18/3.19 to Jessie kernel (3.16). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kernel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Package: src:linux Version: 3.2.51-1 Followup-For: Bug #698821 I would like to ping this bug: debian is not installable on latest Areca controllers like ARC-12x4, and they are out since many months now. The latest driver is available from this page: http://www.areca.com.tw/support/main.htm and the latest version at the time of this writing is this one: http://www.areca.us/support/s_linux/driver/arcmsr-1.30.0X.16-131015.zip By compiling it by hand it works fine, but this does not solve the problem of unattended kernel updates and new installations. -- Package-specific info: ** Version: Linux version 3.2.0-4-amd64 (debian-kernel@lists.debian.org) (gcc version 4.6.3 (Debian 4.6.3-14) ) #1 SMP Debian 3.2.51-1 ** Command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-3.2.0-4-amd64 root=/dev/mapper/vg1-root ro quiet ** Model information sys_vendor: Supermicro product_name: H8DM8-2 product_version: 1234567890 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kernel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Current ARECA hardware is unsupported by the older driver. That's not how this works. Someone, ideally one of ARECA's developers, needs to submit a logically structured series of patches to the driver in mainline Linux. Those could can then be backported into Debian's Linux kernel package. Neither the Debian kernel team nor the Linux maintainers will simply 'update' to an out-of-tree version.
