Achim had this to say.. ---snip--- Hello Kai, the "iir" driver supports the ICP vortex controller line AND the intel controller line. You must not use another ICP specific driver.

I found the following in the LINT file of the freebsd kernel sources.. --snip-- # # Intel Integrated RAID controllers. # This driver was developed and is maintained by Intel. Contacts # at Intel for this driver are # "Kannanthanam, Boji T" and # "Leubner, Achim" . # device iir --snip-- Proposal: The "iir" comment section of the LINT file in stable should mention that ICP vortex controllers are also supported by the "iir" driver.
