The DAC960 drivers are built into the generic kernel. You shouldn't have to install anything third party. Just configure your array in the accelraid's bios util, and freebsd setup should see the drives. # Compaq Smart RAID, Mylex DAC960 and AMI MegaRAID controllers. Only # one entry is needed; the code will find and configure all supported # controllers. # device ida # Compaq Smart RAID device mlx # Mylex DAC960 device pst # Promise Supertrak SX6000 device amr # AMI MegaRAID Hunter -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org] On Behalf Of michael Alexander Sent: Wednesday, December 17, 2003 10:50 AM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: RE: Load new drivers during install > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org > [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org] On Behalf Of > Lowell Gilbert > Sent: Wednesday, December 17, 2003 8:47 AM > To: michael Alexander > Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org > Subject: Re: Load new drivers during install > > > "michael Alexander" <linux@milwaukeevalve.com> writes: > > > Is there a way to load updated or additional drivers during > initial install? > > (like redhats 'expert' install option) > > Yes, the install gives you the option to load kernel modules. > However, this is very rarely needed, because the install kernel > includes drivers for pretty much anything you could possibly need to > get through the install process. > > Why do you ask? What do you need that isn't working? > I need drivers for Mylex Acceleraid250 (DAC960) on Intel NA440BX. It is listed as a supported card on the site, but it doesn't give me any such drivers to select at install. (note, it also doesn't show any NIC drivers for onboard NIC) MB and Raid card are updated to latest bios and firmware, as of last week.
