do you have chance to try current tip/master

or 2.6.29-rcX
plus following patch?

I will see about trying this.

does the fact that I am compiling a monolithic kernel (no modules) make any difference related to the patch below?

this patch on the (current as a few min ago) linus git tree doesn't work, trying adding the other patch now.

or can you check if there is update fw for your LSI card?

this is more work, I'll look into that as well.

[PATCH] mpt: fix enable lsi sas to use msi as default

Impact: fix bug

the third param in module_param(,,) is perm instead of default value.
we still need to assign default at first.
