I apologize if a post like this was already posted, but I could not find what I need.
My problem is that I can not get the LSI driver to load, below is what I have and what I have done.
Obviously I have a LSI SAS 9201-16I HBA, and I am trying install the latest Free_BSD_Driver_P17 that is provided here http://www.lsi.com/products/storagecomponents/Pages/LSISAS9201-16i.aspx because I assume this is the correct one. I downloaded the driver file, unzipped it and found what I assume is the correct mpslsi.ko driver module located under Free_BSD_Driver_P17\mps2_rel\pkg\stage\9.0.0\amd64\boot\kernel. Please correct me if I am wrong, also I have the 64bit version of FreeNAS with an Intel Core I3 CPU.
To install the mpslsi.ko I followed the instructions here http://blog.hani-ibrahim.de/en/netzwerktreiber-auf-freenas-installieren.html, in addition I had to use mount -uw / to allow me to copy and then mount -r / when I was done. This worked and I verified it by viewing the mpslsi.ko file in the /boot/kernel directory. Then within FreeNAS, I created a new Tunable by following instructions here http://doc.freenas.org/index.php/Tunables, and in the Variable I put mpslsi.ko, and for Value I put YES
I did a reboot and check if the driver module was loaded using kldstat command in the Shell, and the driver module is not loaded.
Please help, what am I doing wrong. I want to load the latest driver for my HBA because I have been having problems with my new FreeNAS build.
