[ERA is a device that let's you power cycle and control the 2650 remotely.] has anyone ported it off to run under linux emulation under freebsd? it would be cool to be able to run /usr/sbin/racadm. looking at the dell linux distribution, the racser-src RPM indicates that there is an emulated 16550 UART on this PCI device: none1@pci0:4:1: class=0xff0000 card=0x00081028 chip=0x00081028 rev=0x00 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Dell Computer Corporation' device = 'PowerEdge 3/Di Expandable RAID Controller' [i don't think the "device" line is correct, this is the RAC device, not the RAID?] the racser-devel RPM seems to indicate that you establish a PPP connection to the above UART. seems like the sio driver could be applied to none1@pci0:4:1. the /usr/sbin/racadm is also linked with the dellmsa package, but i'm not sure how much it needs from it? the dellomsa-drivers RPM has an additional kernel module in it (basically a bunch of .o's with a the source for a linux shim that is layered on top of it). chuck To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
