Be aware that the Perc/2SC (single channel) and Perc2/QC (quad channel) are VERY different cards. I believe they are even made by totally different manufacturers. You should be able to tell by looking at the back of the machine. If the card has four really tiny SCSI connectors then it is the quad channel. -Eric -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Martin Chandler Sent: Monday, June 04, 2001 9:59 PM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Dell PERC2 in a Poweredge 2300 I've got an old Dell Poweredge 2300 lying around that I would love to turn into a FreeBSD box, and hearing that the Dell PERC raid controllers were now supported I decided to give it a try.... unfortunately, using a boot floppy from the most recent stable snapshot my PERC2 is detected as a PERC 2/QC (which I don't believe it is, as far as I can tell it is just a PERC2) and then it hangs aac0: <Dell PERC 2/QC> port 0xe400-0xe4ff mem 0xf9ffc000-0xf9ffdfff irq 10 ad device 10.0 on pci2 I tried using boot floppies from 4.1.1-RELEASE, 4.2-RELEASE and 4.3-RELEASE, but to no avail. Is there something I am missing?
