 I have new HP Kayak XU800 with onboard Adaptec AIC 7892 (that's what BIOS
says) which should be supported (ahc0) in FreeBSD.
If I try to install 3.4 from the CDROM the controller is not detected.
The SCSI controller itself seems to be OK (running Win NT without
problems).

I tried to experiment a little bit with other releases with following
results:

2.2.6:
Probing devices on PCI bus 3:
pci 3:0:0 Intel Corporation, device=0x1161, class system, subclass=0x00 [no
driver assigned]
pci 3:9: vendor=0x9005, device=0x008f, class=storage(scsi), int a irq 10
[no driver assigned]

3.1 and 3.4 (both the same):
Probing devices on PCI bus 3:

... and nothing else

4.0 snapshot March 8 2000:
PCI 3: <PCI bus> on pcib3
PCI 3: <unknown card> (vendor=0x8086, dev=0x1161) at 0.0
ahc0: <Adaptec aic 7892 Ultra 160 SCSI adapter> port 0xb800 - 0xb8ff mem
0xfd8ff000 - 0xfd8fffff irq 10 at device 9.0 om pci 3

So the 2.2.6 at least says it the card was found, 3.x doesn't detect the
card (and doesn't say anything) and 4.0 detects the controller correctly.

The 3.4 has the AIC 7892  on the compatibility list  - I would be happy to
use it on that machine.
On the other hand it is not so critical for me so I can wait for 4.0 or 3.5
( if this version will fix it), but if you someone could give me a tip what
to do to make it work that would be  great  :-)
