aac is still not built as part of openbsd for the same reasons it was
disabled: we cant support it without documentation.
to use the raid controller you're going to have to build custom
kernels (and maybe custom install images) with aac enabled. or you
can disable the raid controller in the bios, ahc will appear, and
you'll be able to use it as a straight scsi controller to install on.
you could look for a perc3/dc (which is megaraid based) and use that.
that's what i do on my pe2500.

Hi misc
I have earlier bought Adaptec cards and have seen a lot of the
problems
with the buggy Adaptec firmware code. I have used 2410SA among
others.
These adaptec cards have cost me *very* much trouble. Therefor I
now use
only LSI MegaRAID for new servers and in customer recommendations.
However... I have an old Dell 2450 with an Adaptec Perc 3/Si
controller.
I will try to use this as a web and ftp server instead of buying
new
hardware if the Adaptec crap card is stable. I think of building
a 3.8
stable cd with aac support for it.
The question:
Is this Perc 3/Si card stable on 3.8? If not... Is it stable with
the
latest changes I have seen in cvs (aac_pci.c version 1.16).
it's olrite w/ the latest changes.
you should probably get 3.9 when it's out.
cu
Does it mean it acts like the old problem (i.e timeout) if going
for 3.8
stable and not going for anything later that the aac fixes in
aac_pci.c
version 1.16?
Thanks
