Date: Fri, 11 Feb 2000 12:15:54 +0100 MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.5.2232.9) Content-Type: text/plain Sender: owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Hi and thank's for reading! I'm getting a bit worried about our investment. A few months ago I checked the handbook and release notes to see wether its worth upgrading our old compaq servers or not. There were a bunch of Compaq RAID controllers listed in the hardware controllers section, so I thougt adding disks and RAM would make them good FreeBSD machines. Now I finished the hardware upgrade and tried to install 3.4-RELEASE, but no controller is detected. A quick check in LINT also brought up nothing. So is this already alzheimer or has the documentation changed? Have those controllers never been supported? Do I realy have to stick with NT? What pizza should I order today? So many questions, so few answers..... Roland To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
