OK, but SAS (Serial attached SCSI) is technology in the area of storage

The problem isn't scsi. The problem is the lsi adapter. Problem #1 is
the hardware design which makes it hard to emulate it correctly and #2
that you need a non-redistributable rom file to boot from it.
#2 isn't an issue actually, at least for Debian users --
Well, it is, to some degree. Because vanilla upstream doesn't support
booting from lsi it has alot less users and alot less regression testing
(like autotest runs of lsi-scsi installs), which sums up to more bugs
staying unnoticed like the one which triggered this thread.
What's the holdup to integrate it into QEMU?
