Hi all. We have a Dell PowerEdge 1650, the tech specs of which are at: http://www.dell.com/us/en/esg/topics/esg_pedge_rackmain_servers_3_pedge_1650.htm What is relevant here is the integrated Dell PERC 3/Di RAID card, which is a rebadged Adaptec AdvancedRAID controller (device aac), and the dual-channel Adaptec AIC-7899 Ultra3 SCSI controller (device ahc). We're running a several-hours-old snapshot of 4.5-STABLE, which can find and use the aac card (mirroring on two Seagate Cheetahs) just fine. It's the AIC-7899 which is eluding us. We have the following PCI/storage bits in the kernel configuration: device pci device aac device ahc device ahc0 device scbus device scbus0 at ahc0 (need "bus X" specified here? or this line at all?) device da device sa device cd device pass As I said, the aac device is found and the mirror has been installed upon just fine. However, there is not a single mention when the machine boots of any SCSI bus, etc. There are a couple of unidentified PCI devices, both vendor code 9005 (Adaptec) and device code 00C5 (RAID Subsystem HBA), but the rest of the output is just standard other stuff. (Sorry I haven't got a copy to post directly - I'll get one if req'd.) Some potentially important information is from a post Justin Gibbs sent to misc@openbsd.org last year: > From: "Justin T.

Or a bigger problem? Any ideas appreciated - we need SCSI!
