I tried booting off an 8.2 release disc and it did not see the controller.

I don't have a dmesg from booting off that disc so I can't offer much more detail other than what I have in my dmesg now:

mps0: <LSI SAS2008> port 0xfc00-0xfcff mem 0xef5f0000-0xef5fffff,0xef580000-0xef5bffff irq 44 at device 0.0 on pci1
