It's A Digital Disease!

I'm on my third LSI 9201-16e card now and regardless what steps I take to flash them, regardless which bios version or firmware version I put on them, and regardless whether I'm trying vanilla ubuntu server or unraid or some other distro, newer or older, I can't get the kernel to boot without throwing some kind of low-level driver error. And I've tried THREE different cards now - one brand new!

I've found some evidence of it eventually working for others (like this: https://www.reddit.com/r/unRAID/comments/o7eyz4/comment/k2yjvay/) but at this point I'm starting to think it's not supported any more on linux at all!

Does anyone here have one of these and have it working properly with linux?

This is just like the cards I've tried: https://www.ebay.com/itm/162872615455?_skw=lsi+9201-16e

Any help greatly appreciated!!
