Any help is much appreciated. I've been trying to load FreeBSD 4.1 on a Dell system. I've located a driver - aac-20000912.tar.gz kindly donated by Dell tech support (said to work, but not supported) for FreeBSD 4.x. I'm trying to research how I can build and install a boot kernel with this driver, so I have access to the Dell on-board raid controller and drives. The tech at Dell said the poweredge 2450 is a Adaptec 3400S raid chip, Dell refers to this as a PERC 3/Si . The untarred source files from Dell look like: 2 ./aac-20000912/sys/modules/aac 3 ./aac-20000912/sys/modules 153 ./aac-20000912/sys/dev/aac 154 ./aac-20000912/sys/dev 158 ./aac-20000912/sys 1 ./aac-20000912/share/man/man4 2 ./aac-20000912/share/man 3 ./aac-20000912/share 162 ./aac-20000912 However, these look like an older version of sys/dev /acc files of a 4.2 Kernel. I don't have a 4.1 Kernel. Should I be using 4.2? I To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
