My assistant recently ordered a machine for our use here but failed to check the HCL for 4.0, and therefore ordered a 2400 series Dell Poweredge that uses the PERC 2/Si 64MB RAID controller. Now I've checked the mailing list archives and haven't been too happy with what I'm seeing. The only one with a smidgin of hope was: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=156897+159028+/usr/local/www/db/ text/2000/freebsd-questions/20000123.freebsd-questions However it seems to lend to 4.0-current (which I would imagine JAN's version of is now RELEASE) as having support for it but I can assure you that unless it's something you have to enable specifically during install, it's not. I would just try the 3.0 solution provided there however the Dell comes without IDE or UWSCSI ports on it, either of which I would have a HD for, instead only having a 50pin scsi port on it for which I do not have a drive to test with. I would ask if anyone has had any success with any workaround, if not, if you had any suggestions on things I could *try* as a workaround. And of course, lastly, if anyone has a simple recommendation as to which card they would buy right now in lieu of the PERC we existingly have I would be in your debt.
