Hello Does anyone know if there is a DELL 6GBPS SAS HBA Device Driver or equivalent that I can install on rocky 8.6? I found a very old driver R294638-mpt2sasbtm-07.15.03.00-1.tar.gz but unsurprisingly won’t install ```auto sudo dnf install mpt2sasbtm-07.15.03.00-1dkms.noarch.rpm Last metadata expiration check: 0:43:43 ago on Thu 22 Jun 2023 11:23:14 PM CEST. Error: Problem: conflicting requests - nothing provides dkms >= 1.00 needed by mpt2sasbtm-07.15.03.00-1dkms.noarch ``` Anyideas would be most welcome. Thank you ---

> [@chlowden](#): > > the link below says that a driver is part of Centos 8 so maybe Rocky 8 too The device with [1000:0072] uses the mpt3sas driver in the kernel. To confirm it is actually loaded, can you check the output of “lsmod | grep mpt3sas” ? ---

> [@chlowden](#): > > `Warning: Disabled Hardware is detected: mpt3sas:0072:1000 @ 0000:08:00.0 is no longer enabled in this release.` That is the problem. Although the mpt3sas kernel module is loaded, the device you have is not enabled. You can install ELRepo’s kmod for that. Because you are running el 8.6, you’d need this package: [https://elrepo.org/linux/elrepo/el8/x86\_64/RPMS/kmod-mpt3sas-39.100.00.00-1.el8\_6.elrepo.x86\_64.rpm](https://elrepo.org/linux/elrepo/el8/x86_64/RPMS/kmod-mpt3sas-39.100.00.00-1.el8_6.elrepo.x86_64.rpm) ---

The information you have provided is not consistent. Your first post indicates you are running el **8.6**. Now this: filename: /lib/modules/4.18.0-477.13.1.el8\_8.x86\_64/weak-updates/mpt3sas/mpt3sas.ko says you have el **8.8**. Then this dmesg output: mpt3sas version 43.100.00.00 loaded is from the **in-kernel** driver. ELRepo’s kmod provides version 42.100.00.00. Please show us the output from the following. rpm -q kernel uname -a rpm -q kmod-mpt3sas ---

OK, now you are running the latest kernel. You’d need to update the kmod-mpt3sas package as well. If you run a ‘dnf update’, it should update it to: kmod-mpt3sas-42.100.00.00-2.el8\_7.elrepo This assumes you have installed the elrepo-release package. If not, just run ‘yum install elrepo-kernel’. ---
