Problems with PERC 5 + AMD64 + mpt-status

[Patrick_Boyd at Dell.com]

The mpt-status utility will only work for MPT cards, i.e. SAS 5/iR, SAS
5/E, SAS 5/i, or LSI MPT BIOS cards.

Dell recommends you use OMSA to monitor and configure your RAID cards as
this will work with PERC and SAS cards both.

Dear Srs,

I'm trying to install "mpt-status" utility in a Debian Etch AMD64 box  
to monitor RAID status, it's a PE1950 server.

# apt-get install mpt-status
# modprobe mptctl

"mptctl" module loads without problems on "2.6.18-5-amd64" kernel  
release:

# dmesg
(..)
Fusion MPT base driver 3.04.01
Copyright (c) 1999-2005 LSI Logic Corporation
Fusion MPT misc device (ioctl) driver 3.04.01
mptctl: Registered with Fusion MPT base driver
mptctl: /dev/mptctl @ (major,minor=10,220)

I get this error when executing "mpt-status":

# mpt-status
MPI_FUNCTION_CONFIG (get page header): No such device

There is very few info about this problem in the FAQ, searching in  
Internet, etc.. Is there any incompatibility between mtp-status and  
AMD64? I get the same error in other machines..
	
Running mtp-status version 1.1.5, default Debian Etch package.

Regards,
