Update: Convert your LSI MegaRAID controller card with LSI SAS2008 chipset to a Plain SAS2008 controller card (IT or IR mode), will look and feel like a LSI SAS9211-8i, and will be ready to use with unRAID (BIG THANKS to KKM for creating the empty.bin, so you dont need to have to worry about which sbr to obtain and use.)
1) IBM ServeRAID M1015 (tested successfully)
2) Intel RS2WC080 (tested successfully)
Please let me know (PM or post here) what Card you have successfully flashed with the LSI MegaRAID to SAS2008 with the provided zip.

LSI MegaRAID to SAS2008(P11).zip - 5.87 MB (DOS, via bootable usb key)
More specifically: Did you use P10 or P11, or both? Are any further steps needed?
