Hello lists,



I'm trying to get FreeBSD 8.0 or 8.1 to run on a Dell poweredge r210 server.

It ships with a SATA/SAS h200 RAID controller.


Sadly, the MFI driver doesn't seem to register for this card...


Find below the pciconf -lcvb

I have added the following to /usr/src/sys/dev/mfi/mfi_pci.c at line 119:
--
{0x1000, 0x0072, 0x1028, 0x1f1e, MFI_FLAGS_GEN2,  "Dell PERC H200 Integrated"},

Rebuilt the kernel, tried it on the server, still no luck recognizing
the RAID card.

As a last resort I'll be setting the drives to passthrough and using a
software RAID, but I'd much rather this worked out.

Note that mfi actually recognizes Dell's h700 and h800 cards.




Anyone managed to get the h200 card working yet ?
