I can't speak for Victor, but I did talk to him this afternoon, and he (and other support people) couldn't recall telling anyone that 3ware supports FreeBSD amd64. There might have been some miscommunica= tion/misunderstandings since 3ware does support amd64 on Linux and Windows. Even in the thread below, I don't see him mention FreeBSD amd64. Of course, the problem you had was on amd64, and I don't know if he realized it. The "different OS versions" probably refers to 4.x and 5.x. Anyways, I am sorry about any miscommunications, but as far as my knowledge goes, there's not even been a FreeBSD amd64 version of the driver built here, let alone tested. As about future plans, it might happen if there's sufficient interest, but at this point, there's none. Also, I wonder why you ran into build problems! twa has been in /sys/amd64/conf/GENERIC for sometime now, and no build problems have been reported so far. > -----Original Message----- > From: mike [mailto:mike@mike2k.com] > Sent: Tuesday, June 22, 2004 6:35 PM > To: Peter Losher > Cc: Vinod Kashyap; freebsd-amd64@freebsd.org; > freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org > Subject: Re: [freebsd-amd64] Re: [freebsd-amd64] Possible = > 3ware 8506-12 > SATA Controller issues... > = > = > Here is the last response I received from Victor: > = > On Wed, 16 Jun 2004, Victor Pacheco wrote: > = > > Hi, Mike > > > > > > I am told by our engineer 5.2.1 is not supported nor we support > recompiling against newer kernels.
