I had several problems w/ DL360 integrated RAID & kernel 2.6, due to
high-performance sheduler settings on latest kernel.

I ended up installing TSL2.2, and everything went fine.

Not tested on latest 2.6 kernels: meanwhile I switched work, and now I work
on IBM xSeries (and it's quite well supported ips driver) only.
