[OmniOS-discuss] LSI SAS3041e-HP

[Fábio Rabelo]

Many thanks to all the people ...

It is working now, but there is one more tip to share, use an OLD
motherboard with good and old BIOS !

Do not try to flash this card in a recent UEFI motherboard or you will
get some more headaches ....

Thanks again .... my "home storage" are up and running, reports on
performance and functionality later ...
