Hi,

I have a few Adaptec 7805H HBA cards which FreeBSD doesn=E2=80=99t =
support natively. However Adaptec have provided binary drivers for =
FreeBSD 9.2 (9.3 and 10.x support sadly absent).

The problem I have is with the GENERIC kernel the compiled in ahd driver =
tries to attach to the controller and fails. This prevents the pmspcv =
(Adaptec binary) driver from working.

I=E2=80=99d like to keep using GENERIC for freebsd-update etc., so is =
there a way I can stop the ahd driver from trying to attach without =
rebuilding the kernel? Perhaps change their priority or precedence =
somehow?

Is porting the open source Linux driver to FreeBSD a possibility?=20

Cheers

Phil=
