Hi all,

this is probably caused by the firmware.

LSI Chips may use several different firmwares so they show up with different pci-ids and user different drivers.

The best FW is IR, which needs a special NVRAM Chip onboard and is capable of Raid. Most mainboards don't have this chip so IT and SR-Firmwares are possible. IT is not capable of handling RAID an SR needs a special binary only part in Linux. Linux has a special megasr driver for this. IT and IR use mptsas in Linux, mpt in FreeBSD. I don't think there is a Driver for SR in BSD.

Regards,
 Michael!
