FreeBSD 4.9 doesn't find any disks on the system at all. Neither the asr or aac drivers come up during boot. FreeBSD 5.1 does find both sets of disks. If I pull the 2200S and boot FreeBSD 4.9 the asr driver finds the 0 channel controller and array and installs fine. I've tried the 2200S without the 0 channel adapter and neither disk controller driver loads. Any idea why a 2200S would cause the kernel not to see either disk controller in 4.9 but work fine in semi recent versions of 5? In all instances the adapter BIOS loads and works properly. -- Michael Conlen
