One of our sites got a Dell server 400 with a raid which I thought was the aac and we could not install on it. Finally he took it out and put in an Adaptec SCSI and it all worked fine. But, maybe it was really a different raid controller. I don't have it here to look at now. Of course, I suppose the raid controller could have been DOA hardware. jerry > -- > Greg Barniskis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Library Interchange Network (LINK) > South Central Library System (SCLS) > (608) 266-6348 www.scls.lib.wi.us > ___ ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

The aac driver was first introduced in 4.3, but it has come to support more devices since then. It definitely *was* enabled on 4.8, so the original poster definitely needs to look a little more closely. I've certainly had no trouble loading 4.8-RELEASE (from Walnut Creek CD distros) onto Dell platforms with built-in RAID (PERC 3/Di) using aac, and no trouble with either 4.8-STABLE or 4.9-STABLE since then. -- Greg Barniskis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Library Interchange Network (LINK) South Central Library System (SCLS) (608) 266-6348 www.scls.lib.wi.us ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

FreeBSD 4.8 and Dell RAID
Can someone tell me how to get the FreeBSD 4.8 install CD to recognize my Dell RAID array? It needs the aac driver and it's not enabled on the 4.8 GENERIC kernel.
