Hello, Will anyone comment on FreeBSD support for the PERC 3/Si RAID controller supplied with the Dell PowerEdge 2450. (http://www.dell.com/html/us/compt/pedge/perc_si_dc.htm) This is an i960RM talking to a dual channel aic7899G SCSI controller. This particular SCSI controller apparently appears as two separate PCI devices. One channel/device is used by the RAID micro-processor and the other is a straight SCSI channel for the main CPU. Basically, I'm wondering how much hassle it would be to extend the PERC 2 support to cover the PERC 3 as well. My reading of the amr code suggests that at least i960RD support is in place. I'm volunteering for testing as well if kindly over-worked device driver developers want it. :) I can get PCI device IDs if this is helpful.
