Update from the kernel team regarding this bug? Ben?

Investigating today. Should have a test package later today.

Please try using this package with 2.6.15-51-686 kernel:

http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~bcollins/linux-backports-modules-2.6.15-51-686_2.6.15-51.3_i386.deb

Check for this line in dmesg:

Fusion MPT base driver 3.03.09

This is hard to test at least for me (I only have vmware for testing the driver). When I install the current -proposed l-b-m in an existing dapper (with scsi disks), mpt works fine. It just seems to bail out in the installer.

So I'm afraid we actually have to upload this to -proposed, build d-i against it, and build new CDs for testing it in the installer. Or do you know another method?

Package uploaded and building for dapper-proposed.

Upgrade in vmware looks fine, with -51.4 the kernel actually used the mptspi driver from linux-image (presumably because the one from l-b-m was faulty due to the missing symbols). After upgrading to -51.5 the new driver is used by default.

I have to verify this with an updated install CD tomorrow.

This still happens on the newly built server CD, and it's finally crystal clear why I could not reproduce this on an installed dapper (symbols were always fine, even with the previous version): the scsi-updates-modules udeb simply doesn't ship mptspi.ko, but it should. Therefore the one from linux-image is used, which can't work with the newer mptbase.ko/mptscsih.ko.

Proposed debdiff. With this, scsi-updates-modules has all the modules l-b-m ships. Colin, can you please have an eye on this that I didn't forget any necessary d-i magic?

Confirmed fixed on the current dapper.2 candidate CD.

Where are those dapper.2 CDs available?

Re-certification is currently in progress. If you're interested in
participating in testing the candidate builds, please contact Martin Pitt.
