[lug] SAS controllers and SCSI drives

[steve at badcheese.com]

We just got a test machine from DELL (PE2950) that has a newer LSI (PERC 
5/i) controller and 8 SAS SCSI drives.  I was unable to get any distro 
except for FC7 to talk to the newer LSI controller out of the box.

FYI: The machine's HD I/O is super, hyper, mega fast w/ RAID-10.  :)
