Did you create IR volume?

Can you send dmesg boot log?

Can you try with 2.6.17 kernel?  The -17 kernel is using spi transport
layer,
which is using generic domain validation.

Hello,

I've recently acquired a Promise VTrak 8110 (3x250Gb in RAID5) with an 
LSI 53c1030 card. The configuration was tested on a desktop machine (AMD 
2500+, standard 32/33 PCI) and reached about 30-40MB/sec. I installed 
the card into a Sun X4100 (4 CPU, 4Gb mem, 64/133 PCI-X) with the 
storage behind it, and got surprised that the maximum speed of the card 
in the box topped at 3-3.5MB/sec, with a load of 5, vmstat shows a 
constant 50% iowait, filesystem is ext3, some debug info is below. It 
might be interesting that the box has an LSI SAS1064 controller onboard. 
Does anyone have an idea what am I doing wrong?
