ips.ko load sequence for IBM ServerRaid 5i
I do have the ips driver working with the IBM ServerRaid 5i. However it only works if I boot of an IDE drive and load the driver after the kernel is loaded. What I believe the problem to be is the fact that this "Raid" card is just an add in card to a modified PCI slot that makes the on board LSI dual channel controller into a RAID, and something in the kernel is loading (not the LSI driver its been taken out) which makes these 2 separate devices act as one through the PCI bus and is the reason it can only be loaded after booting. I believe a quick and dirty fix for this may be to load the ips.ko module after the kernel has booted and before init mounts /. Is there a way to do this via something in /boot/loader (the standard way in loader.conf loads it too soon) or perhaps a way to compile isp into the kernel in a way that it would be probed at a later time or in a different sequence?

IBM ServerRaid 5i
Sorry to bother you, I am trying to find out who mantains the ips RAID driver for FreeBSD. I have a X225 Series IBM box here with that card in it, I would be willing/wanting to try and get it to work before they end up sending me the older 4 series controller and would like to work with the person who wrote the driver for FreeBSD. I was told "There is an ips driver which claims to support IBM ServeRAID cards. The driver refers to the cards by their codenames, Morpheus and Copperhead. I would suggest contacting [EMAIL PROTECTED] and asking there."
