Just checked, and yes.

1068E(B3)

01.30.00.00 (IT)

So what I see is from ‘prtconf -d | grep LSI’ are two number: pci15d9,6 (pciex1000,59)

Both of those are listed in the output of "prtconf -pv|egrep 'pci.*1000’”

Neither are in /etc/driver_aliases

Adding pciex1000,59 to mpt results in this at boot:

WARNING: /pci at 0,0/pci8086,340a at 3/pci159d,6 at 0 (mpt0):
                 LSI PCI device (1000,59) not supported.
WARNING: /pci at 0,0/pci8086,340a at 3/pci159d,6 at 0 (mpt0):
                 mpt_config_space_init failed
WARNING: /pci at 0,0/pci8086,340a at 3/pci159d,6 at 0 (mpt0):
                 attach failed

I can re-flash this to IR and see what the result is there, but something tells me it’s going to be the same (other than the BIOS showing those drives again)
