Hi ! I know this has been discussed several times, CAM won*%t make it into 2.2.x. But know I*%m bitten myself with this. I want to build up a new high performance server. Ideal would be an adaptec board called P2B-SL, which contains an AIC 7890 amd an Intel 82558. The on board ethernet chip is supported by FreeBSD-STABLE I found in the mailinglist archive. The AIC chip is only supported by CAM. Is there any possibility, to get a 2.2.8 system running with these components, or could we agree, that a 2.2.9 with CAM would be worth as last super stable FreeBSD system in the 2.2.X line ? Or does somebody provide a CAM boot floppy, to get a FreeBSD system installed and are there CAM patches for 2.2.8 (-STABLE) to patch the kernel after installation ??? I have to build the system in mid of January, that is the timeframe .... Well, I could try to use a 3.0-STABLE system in the hope that the 3.0-STABLE branch will be created at Jan 15th. But this doesn*%t bring me an installation media ... Or I*%d have to install 3.0 and upgrade it ... Recommendations ? What would you do ?
