I've subscribed to this list to ask you a few questions about FreeBSD = hardware compatibility. My company here will soon buy an IBM server Express X3200 M3. Does anybody know something about its compatibility with FreeBSD 8.0? = Google seems to know nothing about it. But in particular I'm interested in the disk/raid controller. The = machine's technical details say it ships with a motherboard based on the Intel 3420 chipset. Is it supported by FreeBSD? = Is its RAID controller supported=20 (assuming that's the chipset that handles RAID)? In case the RAID controller should result unsupported, would that mean = that I can't even use the disk controller at all? Thank you in advance, Nicola=
