has anyone gotten freebsd (current or other) running on one of these?
i've tried 4.0, 4.1, and -current, and the kernel panics on me with
the following:
sym0: 895a port 0x1000=0x10ff mem
0xb110-0xb1101fff,0xb140-0xb14003ff irq 11 at device 4.0 on pci1
sym0: failed to allocate RAM
sym0: 895a port 0x1000=0x10ff mem
0xb110-0xb1101fff,0xb140-0xb14003ff irq 11 at device 4.0 on
pci1 sym0: failed to allocate RAM resources
We're running 3.4-STABLE on a Proliant 3000 here, and it's working
great.
Mind you, this has a Symbios 875 based controller, not 895a
a few years ago (2008), i asked about the prospect of getting an sgl passed
through struct buf / bio, and was referred to the jhb_bio branch. i never did
figure out how to view it, though, and it fell off my radar for a while.
did anything ever come of it, and if so/not, are there any plans
