Re: [ia64qa:00096] RedHat 7.2 on Itanium-2

Hi,

do you also have the MPT fusion drivers? I think they are
needed for this box...

>From a config file of a runnning tiger:

# Fusion MPT device support
#
CONFIG_FUSION=y
CONFIG_FUSION_BOOT=y
# CONFIG_FUSION_ISENSE is not set
CONFIG_FUSION_CTL=m
CONFIG_FUSION_LAN=m
CONFIG_NET_FC=y
