Maybe not too much help here but we're running a Dell PowerEdge 2850 with a MD1000 attached. Although we don't use that particular RAID controller. Here's some of dmesg: amr0: <LSILogic MegaRAID 1.53> mem 0xd81f0000-0xd81fffff,0xdfdc0000-0xdfdfffff i rq 46 at device 14.0 on pci2 amr0: delete logical drives supported by controller amr0: <LSILogic PERC 4e/Di> Firmware 521X, BIOS H430, 256MB RAM mfi0: <Dell PERC 5/i> mem 0xd80f0000-0xd80fffff,0xdfae0000-0xdfafffff irq 18 at device 14.0 on pci5 The machine is running FreeBSD 6.2-PRERELEASE -Patrik
