I will document the procedure asap, as i've seen in the forums that others have had problems with this machine. Best regards Roberto P.S. Many thanks to Scott Long for the mps driver! > Hi, > > Is there any expectancy of getting this piece of hardware (or it's IBM > silbing, the M1015) working in MegaRaid mode, without having to > reflash the card to IT mode. > > The reason of this request is that the UEFI Bios on the IBM XSeries > 3550M3 refuses to properly initialize the controller if reflashed with > the IT mode firmware, thus making it unusable. > > A search on LSI's website for a driver that supports 8-Stable or 9 did > not produce any results > > Many thanks and best regards, > Roberto > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current > To unsubscribe, send any mail to > "freebsd-current-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" >
