[CentOS] Hardware raid LSI Megaraid not working since Centos 6.6

Happy new year !

We have a SuperMicro server with a LSI MegaRAID 9260-4i controller.

Since Centos 6.6 update (kernel 2.6.32-504), the controller doesn't 
initialize at boot. Reverting to kernel 2.6.32-431 allows server to boot 
fine.

The server can't boot due to a bug in LSI megaraid module. Boot log ends 
by a lot of lines:

RESET_GEN2: retry=xxx, hostdiag=a4

I tried Centos 6.6 install disk and it also fails to find disks but 
Centos 7 install disk boot fine.

It's annoying to be stuck at 2.6.32-431 kernel and I have no idea how to 
solve this issue :-(

Thanks for any help.

works here fine on the 9261, which is an OEM version of the same card 
with the connectors in a different orientation...  you might check your 
LSI firmware revision.

My firmware seems to be more up to date. Anyway, I will try to update 
firmware. I have to check how to do that.

My workaround is to install kernel-lt from elrepo repository. It seems 
to work well.

When I tinkered with CentOS and one of those LSI-cards a while ago, CentOS
couldn't find the card until the card's BIOS was flashed with the latest
firmware available at the time.
After the flash, the CentOS stock-kernel found the card out-of-the-box.

YMMV though.

That's weird, because starting with 6.6 we could finally ditch inserting
kmods at installation time, the new kernel in 6.6 supported everything.
I believe the model we have (among others) is 9341-4i; I would imagine it's
pretty similar with what you have.
You should open perhaps a bugzilla issue with redhat about this.
