The driver version difference between C6 and C7 could interact badly with old firmware. What firmware does $vendor suggest? Does C7 in BIOS mode work any better? Run `lsiget` and compare lsi tech support bundles.

A SAS expander in many ways is like an ethernet switch. You have 8 lanes coming off your SAS3008, 4 each in the SFF8087 connector or 8 individual SATA like sockets on the motherboard. You can plug any number of these into a host port on a SAS expander and you then have n*6Gbit of bandwidth to the expander from the host. Then you plug targets and/or additional expanders into the downstrea...
