Hi All, I have a Dell R620 which utilizes the PERC H710 controller based on the LSI SAS 2208 chip. According to the hardware notes for 8.3-RELEASE, this chip is supported by the mps driver. Unfortunately, when I attempt to install 8.3-RELEASE via DVD, it does not recognize the controller and no disks are found and the install exits. The manpage indicates the driver was introduced in 9.0-RELEASE suggesting it was backported to 8.3? Would this be correct? A search for related bug reports did not return anything useful. Would anyone else out there have any experience with installing FreeBSD on the R620 and be able to provide any tips for troubleshooting? -- Take care Rick Miller
