Just wanted to say that I'm running FreeBSD/i386 6.1-STABLE on two Dell PE = 1950's without any problems. The only thing I had to do was update the bce driver = for the NIC, but other than that the mfi RAID controller is detected properly, = as well as the SAS disks and RAID array. The only difference I can think of is perh= aps the firmware and BIOS versions Attached is the dmesg output from one of the two 1950's I've got. with regards, --=20 Morten A.
