Well if it would help you can test it on my ProLiant 5500 running FreeBSD v3.4-STABLE http://www.testdrive.compaq.com -----Mike -----Original Message----- From: BOFH [mailto:BOFH@prolynx.com] Sent: Tuesday, January 11, 2000 5:20 PM To: freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org Subject: Installing on COMPAQ 1850/5000 with SMART2/2E General question: After searching the FAQ's, HOWTO's, -scsi, -tech, -questions mail archives and finding http://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~md/ida/ and http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/dev/ida/ I am still left with the problem: How do I (successfully) create a bootable kernel that supports the Compaq SMART2 RAID controller well enough to perform a new install? I've seen plenty of references to _having_ done this, with no particular pointers on _how_ to do this. I have tried several different variants of making the ida devices build, but unfortunately I'm in a bit of a Cache-22 in that I can't get a native implementation of the device files until I can get one of the Compaq's up and running. The kernels I've managed to build so far boot, see the NIC and FDD, but are still lost on the SCSI-RAID. I am using FreeBSD v3.4-STABLE on a DELL 2300, with the standard development options installed (gcc, perl, etc.). Any help in either creating this or pointers to the correct documentation will be appreciated.
