[afnog] Cannot see SAS drives via adapter

[Shepherd Magumo]

Good day,

I am having problems seeing SAS drives using Supermicro AOC-SAS2LP-H8IR
adapter. The operation system is CentOS 5.6 64bit version.

The operation system is installed on a SATA drive and the motherboard is an
Intel Board "Classic Series" "Rockfish" G43 - Socket LGA775. From the OS I
cannot see the drives. BIOS does see the PCI card and it ends there.

If I run lspci with grep "sas" I get:

[root at proxy ~]#
[root at proxy ~]# lspci | grep -i "sas"
01:00.0 RAID bus controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic LSI MegaSAS 9260 (rev
04)
[root at proxy ~]#

Any ideas to get the drives working most welcome.
