James, I've been flipping through messages pretty quickly the last few days, but I could swear that someone responded to this same question not too long ago, suggesting that you (or whomever) use a 4.0 snapshot, rather than the release. Try it, it just might do the trick for you. g'luck, -Troy ** -----Original Message----- ** From: owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG ** [mailto:owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of James ** Sent: Monday, June 19, 2000 12:46 PM ** To: void@humankind.com ** Subject: Compaq SmartRAID compatibility issues? ** ** ** ** I'm still having problems getting this Proliant 3000R with the Compaq ** 2DH controller to work properly - I've seen some historical messages ** indicating people have gotten 3.3 to work incorporating a non-bundled ** IDA driver; I've also heard that this driver is now integrated in with ** FreeBSD in the later versions.
