In message <200010060838.e968cbh04977@mass.osd.bsdi.com>you write: }> hi all, }> somebody dropped a Dell PowerEdge 2450 rackmount server on my lap :-) }> it has Dell Perc 3/si controller, which seems to be another name for }> Adaptec AIC-7899. } }No. The 3/Si involves the i960 and the DIMM slot as well. If you have }the RAID key in the system (little dongle, plugs over on the righthand }side, check the diagram inside the system lid), you will need the 'aac' }driver from -current or }http://people.freebsd.org/~msmith/RAID/index.html#adaptec getting it now, will check asap. } }If there's no RAID key in the system, then you have a standard aic7899. }If there's a RAID key but no DIMM, then you will probably confuse the }hell out of things. Note that you need to set the controller up before }you can do anything with it. } it has both, so far i disabled the RAID in the BIOS and now the disk is seen. im at the moment installing FreeBSD 4.1.1, since BSDi though saw the disks couldn't get the exp0/exp1 to work (Grrrrr) }> anyway, }> NT: ok }> FreeBSD: 4.1.1 does not see it }> BSDi: 4.1 does see the controller but does not find any disks } }I'd be interested to know what BSD/OS thinks it's seeing. I don't }believe they support this controller. it does, and saw the 2 ibm disks, and something else which i forgot :-( but didn't check if it could write because my floppy instalation uses the network (see above). } }> Linux: not yet tested. } }You will need the percraid driver as shipped by Dell, or the aacraid }driver as shipping with RedHat 7.0 } thanks, danny PS: BTW, i sent you a bootp.c with dhcp stuff some while ago ...
