See below. Does anyone know who the right person to contact is? Cheers. NB Apologies to anyone irked by my copying basically a private exchange to this list.

I'm having to build all kernels for Dell servers with amr cards with v1.7.2.13 to get them to boot. i.e. non-working versions are * $FreeBSD: src/sys/dev/amr/amr.c,v 1.7.2.14 2003/10/29 09:11:38 ps Exp $ * $FreeBSD: src/sys/dev/amr/amr_disk.c,v 1.5.2.6 2003/10/29 09:11:38 ps Exp $ * $FreeBSD: src/sys/dev/amr/amrvar.h,v 1.2.2.6 2003/10/29 09:11:38 ps Exp $ working versions are: * $FreeBSD: src/sys/dev/amr/amr.c,v 1.7.2.13 2003/01/15 13:41:18 emoore Exp $ * $FreeBSD: src/sys/dev/amr/amr_disk.c,v 1.5.2.5 2002/12/20 15:12:04 emoore Exp $ * $FreeBSD: src/sys/dev/amr/amrvar.h,v 1.2.2.5 2002/12/20 15:12:04 emoore Exp $ Changing these 3 files gets the server to boot. Surely this is quite a show-stopper to be ignored for 3 months?
