Thank you Doug. I have another machine on the way, that i can use for testing. In the meantime, i got it to work with a reflashed controller, using the mps driver. I posted a "howto" to the forums http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=27268 Best regards, Roberto > Roberto de Iriarte writes: > | Hi, > | > | Is there any expectancy of getting this piece of hardware (or it's IBM > | silbing, the M1015) working in MegaRaid mode, without having to reflash > | the card to IT mode. > | > | The reason of this request is that the UEFI Bios on the IBM XSeries > | 3550M3 refuses to properly initialize the controller if reflashed with > | the IT mode firmware, thus making it unusable. > | > | A search on LSI's website for a driver that supports 8-Stable or 9 did > | not produce any results > > I have driver changes from LSI to support the 9240 and newer ThunderBolt > based cards.
