Well Patch is perhaps a big word :-) Since I'm still a real noob with the DL buildsystem, I don't know if I implemented the 'patch' correctly. I say 'patch' because it's not really a patch, it just extracts the source tar ball in the correct location like the docs state: http://www.lsi.com/support/downloads/mptlinux.txt I've got the tarball with drivers' source here: http://www.siepkes.nl/jfire/mptlinux-2.06.65.00-src.tar.gz You can also pull the drivers from here: http://www.lsi.com/storage_home/products_home/host_bus_adapters/sas_hbas/lsi sas3801x/index.html?remote=1&locale=EN . That provides a tarball with the source, RPM, SRPM, etc. Let me know if I need to change something about it. Kind regards, Jasper -----Original Message----- From: dev...@li...
