(And please excuse me using Lookout!). I’m in the process of installing FreeBSD4.4 and have run into a huge problem. I ’m in desperate need of a driver for an AHA-3985W RAID controller. My questions are this – Is one available anywhere? If I configure Linux emulation, can I use a Linux driver for this card? (I realize this may be a ridiculous question, but I’m trying to cover any/all possibilities). Last question; If the answers are NO! for the previous questions, Is there anyone that would be benevolent enough to write one so I can get away from Microshaft? /Scott --- End of original message, converted from HTML --- discovery# dmesg ahc0: port 0xf000-0xf0ff mem 0xff9fc000-0xff9fc fff irq 10 at device 4.0 on pci1 aic7870: Single Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 16/255 SCBs ahc1: port 0xf400-0xf4ff mem 0xff600000 -0xff7fffff,0xff9fd000-0xff9fdfff irq 11 at device 5.0 on pci1 RAID functionality unsupported device_probe_and_attach: ahc1 attach returned 6 ahc1: port 0xf800-0xf8ff mem 0xff9fe000-0xff9fe fff irq 10 at device 8.0 on pci1 aic7870: Single Channel B, SCSI Id=7, 16/255 SCBs ahc2: port 0xfc00-0xfcff mem 0xff9ff000-0xff9ff fff irq 10 at device 12.0 on pci1 aic7870: Single Channel C, SCSI Id=7, 16/255 SCBs The AHA-3985/3980 definately works (and Adaptec and Microsoft both claim that this card will not work under a Microsoft OS, but it works fine in both FreeBSD since 4.2 and RedHat 6.2). As you can see, RAID functionality isn't supported, but the card works fine as a standard SCSI controller. If you need RAID with this controller, why not just attach your drives and use vinum under FreeBSD? --- Andy To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
