This configuration is well supported by mfi driver, AFAIK. mfi0: <Dell PERC 5/i> mem 0xd80f0000-0xd80fffff,0xfc4e0000-0xfc4fffff irq 78 at device 14.0 on pci2 Mine is a LSI Logic SAS 5/i (no RAID) controller, which is supported by the mpt driver, wich seems to need some fixing. mpt0: <LSILogic SAS Adapter> port 0xec00-0xecff mem 0xfc4fc000-0xfc4fffff,0xfc4e0000-0xfc4effff irq 64 at device 8.0 on pci2 -- Alex
