the ServeRAID controllers are not supported at the moment. you could remove the ServerRAID card and use the Adaptec SCSI backend as an ordinary controller (i think it is an ahd(4)). > Then I downloaded snapshot (20 Jan 2006) and tried to install it. dmesg > said: > > pci7 at ppb6 bus 7 > "Adaptec ServeRAID" rev 0x07 at pci7 dev 14 function 0 not configured > (full dmesg follows) > we just added the PCI id string. no new functionality. > Is there any chance to get it to work with OpenBSD or should I give up > for now? no, there's no openbsd driver at the moment. and the existing drivers for other systems are very obfuscated and they're lacking some important documentation for the management interface. we replaced the ServerRAID in x346 with ami(4) MegaRAIDs and a custom adaptor for the backplane... this works fine and the controller is well-supported, even with bioctl(8). reyk
