Description:   Opened: 2005-12-29 11:42 0000 
In latest kernel version (at least since 2.6.13), the layout of the drivers for
Fusion MPT has changed. There is now one driver for SCSI parallel hosts
(mptspi) and another one for Fiber Channel hosts (mptfc). It is impossible to
use the mpt driver without mptspi (I do not have the hardware to test for mptfc
at my disposition). However, in the latest version of genkernel (3.3.10), the
module is not in /usr/share/genkernel/x86/modules_load so it does not appear in
the initramfs and thus the system cannot boot.

The fix must be to put mptspi and mptfc in
/usr/share/genkernel/x86/modules_load with the other mpt modules.

I will test this now, and let you know if that fix the problem.

Ok, let me know how that goes. Thanks.

I can confirm that the fix to modules_load works for the SCSI version of the
chip. 

As for your marking of bug #116688 a duplicate of this one, it's not exactly
the case. There is another bug in genkernel 3.3.6 that removes the Fusion
drivers from the configuration, they do not even compile. 

This one is just about adapting to the new layout in the recent kernel
versions.

The fix is to add "mptspi" and "mptfc" to
/usr/share/genkernel/x86/modules_load.

I've updated this in CVS... it will appear in the next genkernel version...

This should be fixed in 3.3.11c, which is now in portage.
