Hi, I am thinking of getting an LSI Logic LSI7202XP-LC Fibre Channel card (uses 929X). I read the hardware compatibility list for FreeBSD 5.3 and it says there is full support for the 929 chipset. I was wondering if that also extends to the 929X as well. The "X" means that the card uses PCI-X. I am assuming that it would work, but a few loose assumptions has left me with a 5.6TB XServe RAID that I can't talk to! :( I also got the Apple FC card, which uses the 929X chipset, and FreeBSD does not recognize it at all. Supposedly Apple made some modifications to it but there's no way of seeing what those are. Also: When I boot the card into a Windows XP machine it says "New Hardware Found". So if anybody know if the LSI7202XP-LC with the 929X chipset would work, I would appreciate any experience you can share. On a side note (sort of related), does the GENERIC kernel on the installation ISO have the mpt(4) compiled into it? thanks. Ben
