[Illumos-team] [OpenIndiana Distribution - Bug #1523] OI151a can't access Symbios 53c875

[illumos project]

Issue #1523 has been updated by Garrett D'Amore.


The missing device ids are more complex than you might realize, because it turns out that under a given device id, there are different chip versions, and glm can support some, but not all of those versions.

Sadly, this just isn't as cut and dried as it should be.

Short of modifying glm to support all the legacy parts, I'm not sure what the right answer here is.  I'm inclined to just leave those parts out .. there aren't that many of these legacy controllers still out there in the field.

I have a system with several Symbios 53c875 SCSI cards. These aren't picked up by OI151a.

At least, the device driver utility says it doesn't have a driver for them.

They work fine with 2009.06, using the ncrs driver. From path_to_inst there, I see:

"/pci at 0,0/pci8086,244e at 1e/pci1000,1000 at 0" 0 "ncrs"
"/pci at 0,0/pci8086,244e at 1e/pci1000,1000 at 1" 1 "ncrs"
"/pci at 0,0/pci8086,244e at 1e/pci1000,1000 at 1,1" 2 "ncrs"

Now, ncrs has gone. Should glm be a viable replacement?
