FreeBSD surplus.surfnet.nl 6.0-BETA5 FreeBSD 6.0-BETA5 #2: Mon Oct  3 18:44:03 CEST 2005     paul@surplus.surfnet.nl:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/SURPLUS  i386

>Description:
On a (test) Dell 2550 with aac (Perc3) RAID-controller the aac controller failed to be recognised after upgrading from 6.0-BETA5 of 3 October to 6.0-RC1 (as on the CD's distributed, I tested that kernel as well).

On both kernel versions I get:
aac0: <Dell PERC 3/Di> mem 0xf0000000-0xf7ffffff irq 31 at device 2.1 on pci2
but the working kernel (BETA5) gives me:
aac0: [FAST]
which sounds good, but the RC1 kernel gives me:
aac0: RequestAdapterInfo failed

I noticed the aac-issue on the todo list, clearly the fix applied didn't work for me :-)

I tried my RC1-CD on a PE 2650 with a Perc3/Di and that works just fine.

Because of this 'needs testing' and it's already in RC1 I gave this a serious-severity - not sure if that is right, forgive me if not.

I'm available for testing if necessary.

>How-To-Repeat:
Use 6.0-RC1 on a Dell 2550 with a Perc3/Di (aac) controller.
