I took the rr232x driver out of the kernel. Overwritten the /boot/kernel/rr232x.ko file with rr232x-6.2-amd64.ko fro= m = the 1.03 driver disk. Added rr232x_load=3D"YES" to /boot/loader.conf It sounds simple but it wasn't that clear(FreeBSD 6.2 only has 1.02 driv= er = in GENERIC) I also wanted to ask if there was some way to compile the module in = statically? And If someone is working on porting driver 1.04 (RAID6). Hope this helps people with the same problem googling for solution, Vasek BEFORE: -------------- rr232x: start channel [0,0] rr232x: start channel [0,1] rr232x: start channel [0,2] rr232x: start channel [0,3] rr232x: start channel [0,6] rr232x: start channel [0,7] rr232x: channel [0,6] started successfully rr232x: channel [0,7] started successfully rr232x: fail to start channel [0,0] rr232x: fail to start channel [0,1] rr232x: fail to start channel [0,2] rr232x: fail to start channel [0,3] rr232x0: [GIANT-LOCKED] da0 at rr232x0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 da0: Fixed Direct Access SCSI-0 device da0: 70784MB (144965632 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 9023C) AFTER: -------------- rr232x: start channel [0,0] rr232x: start channel [0,1] rr232x: start channel [0,2] rr232x: start channel [0,3] rr232x: start channel [0,6] rr232x: start channel [0,7] rr232x: channel [0,0] started successfully rr232x: channel [0,1] started successfully rr232x: channel [0,2] started successfully rr232x: channel [0,3] started successfully rr232x: channel [0,6] started successfully rr232x: channel [0,7] started successfully rr232x0: [GIANT-LOCKED] da0 at rr232x0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 da0: Fixed Direct Access SCSI-0 device da0: 70784MB (144965632 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 9023C) da1 at rr232x0 bus 0 target 1 lun 0 da1: Fixed Direct Access SCSI-0 device da1: 915456MB (1874853888 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 116704C)
