Re: [Xen-devel] RE: Megaraid SAS driver failing in Xen-3.3.0 but was working in Xen-3.2.2-rc3

Hi, Bhanskar.

Could you try my patch?
My MegaRAID SAS card works well with this patch.

If you are using ioemu, please try c/s 18430.
http://xenbits.xensource.com/xen-unstable.hg?rev/1a785d213573

If you are using ioemu-romote, please try c/s 4761.

Thanks,
