Subject:   adding a driver. PERC controller Saga of making Dell Poweredge work FreeBSD 4.1
Message-ID:  <007f01c08d54$0c532a00$e2aa85ce@d7k>

It continues. Any help is much appreciated. I've been trying to load FreeBSD
4.1 on a Dell system.

I've located a driver  - aac-20000912.tar.gz kindly donated by Dell tech
support (said to work, but not supported) for FreeBSD 4.x.

I'm trying to research how I can build and install a boot kernel with this
driver, so I have access to the Dell on-board raid controller and drives.

The tech at Dell said the poweredge 2450 is a Adaptec 3400S raid chip, Dell
refers to this as a PERC 3/Si .

The untarred source files from Dell look like:

2       ./aac-20000912/sys/modules/aac
3       ./aac-20000912/sys/modules
153     ./aac-20000912/sys/dev/aac
154     ./aac-20000912/sys/dev
158     ./aac-20000912/sys
1       ./aac-20000912/share/man/man4
2       ./aac-20000912/share/man
3       ./aac-20000912/share
162     ./aac-20000912

However, these look like an older version of  sys/dev /acc files of a 4.2
Kernel. I don't have a 4.1 Kernel. Should I be using 4.2?
