Tough in > ports/UPDATING only 2.6.16 is mention. > http://blogs.freebsdish.org/netchild/category/freebsd/linuxolator/ > speaks also only for 2.6.16 :) I got this from reading the commit message of r1.5 of http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/dev/mfi/mfi.c I don't know what the change set between 2.6.12 and 2.6.16 is regarding the linuxolator. As I see it the difference should only in more syscalls being supported. So if megacli has enough to get going on by setting it to just 2.6.12 it should not have a requirement for 2.6.16. Correct me if I am wrong (and I'll fix the instructions in the port) Of course, if you think mfi(4) should support your board csup up to the latest stable and see whether it works. Also run through /usr/ local/sbin/megacli instead of /usr/local/libexec/MegaCli as it will perform some sanity checks. >> People should only realise that they are running a linux binary >> under emulation in order to manage their mission critical servers. >> It is a thing you might not like. > It has been always this way with lsi ?
