I have X card and it workd beautifully.

On ia64 -current I have:

i...@pci0:192:1:0:  class=0x0c0400 card=0x12d6103c chip=0x24221077 rev=0x02

device = 'QLogic PCI to Fibre Channel Host Adapter for QLA2460

class  = serial bus
subclass   = Fibre Channel

which gives:

Re: FreeBSD Support for Fibre Channel Devices

[Tim Gustafson]

> isp(4)
> mpt(4)

Hrmm, I guess I should phrase the question this way:

I have installed a Fibre Channel card into a new FreeBSD 8.x box.  I have both 
isp(4) and mpt(4) are loaded and the device still doesn't appear in /dev.  
pciconf shows:

no...@pci0:8:1:0: class=0x0c0400 card=0x656c1242 chip=0x15601242 rev=0xb2 
hdr=0x00
 vendor   = 'Jaycor Networks Inc'
 device   = 'Dual Channel 2 Gb/s Fibre Channel-PCI-X (JNIC-1560)'
 class= serial bus
 subclass = Fibre Channel

So I'm guessing that this device is unsupported.  So, what I was trying to 
ascertain from my original question is: does anyone have any FreeBSD experience 
with a Fibre Channel card that they like under FreeBSD that I can replace this 
one with?

Basically I'm asking for a recommendation along the lines of "I have card X and 
it works beautifully".  :)

Of course, possibly subject to change or update. Usually any new additions 
of changes are reported in various @announce mailing lists. The security 
announce list will report on specifically the secure patch support question.

Re: FreeBSD support for HP DL180/G5

[Subhro]

HP produces pretty good boxes and historically I have been able to get them
working without any troubles. However I would say DL180 is a pretty non
customizable box. The hardware works perfectly with FreeBSD 7.0. I didnt try
it with 6.3, so cant comment on that.

However I would say DL380 is a better off. The main advantage of DL3xx boxes
are there is a lot of room to play with add-on cards. Also not all the
latest and greatest processors are available with DL1xx family of servers.

Also make sure that you go for an external RAID controller like 3ware or
Areca. I prefer Areca more :-D. The HP RAID controller cant take the beating
I give to it.

Thanks

I'm surprised they claim Linux compatability since
I thought Linux required an FPU as well.

FreeBSD 4.X supports these with the kernel option
MATH_EMULATE or GPL_MATH_EMULATE  Later versions of
FreeBSD got rid of that option.

NetBSD 4 still has MATH_EMULATE but it's buggy.  There
was a discussion last month on the NetBSD mailing
list about whether it would be a good thing to fix it.

You could, possibly, recompile FreeBSD (or more
likely, picobsd, see "man picobsd" for information)
with the -msoft-float option to gcc to build a version
that would not require a FPU.   But you still need
an emulator that would supply the floating point
operations. gcc includes (or included) a generic
implementation of these functions in dp-bit.c and
fp-bit.c.  Of course, it would be under the GPL.
Or you could get the FreeBSD 4.11 source and dig up
the ancient emulator that was under the BSD license
and use that.

Here's a thread fragment I found that discusses the
process with regards to building libgcc 
http://www.busybox.net/lists/uclibc/2002-May/003404.html

Good luck - some things are better off left dead,
the non-FPU cpus were one of these things.

it doesn't have a FPU.

This is frankly rediculous.

The question of whether the Project offers commercial support depends
highly on your definition of The FreeBSD Project

The "official" FreeBSD Project membership is comprised of a great many
individuals.  A lot of those individuals work at companies that sell
FreeBSD consultative support.  I think therefore the question of whether
the Project offers support or not is moot.  Yes, it does from an
individual
level.

Supply Chain Management is a whole field which probably most people

Supply-chain folk?  Is that a euphemism for "suits?"

My employer is audited by clients on a regular basis.  If you have your
internal documentation and processes together, it doesn't seem to bother
any of the corporate-types we run up against in the health-care industry
that we are running a freely-available, open-source OS.

If you require "commercial support" I'd like to think there is a
commercial entity that can lease such an option to you.  The FreeBSD
foundation hasn't gone down that road yet, unlike some other projects.
Maybe someday, but if you need a commercial support option that is
co-branded with your Operating System, you could do worse than Solaris,
or Red Hat Enterprise.

I'm sorry, but all effective legislative systems (including
that of the USA) allow officially non-profit and non-
commercial organizations to take on commercial
activities. And many such organizations exercise this
right.

IMHO, there's no official commercial support, because
money can hardly buy more than what's already
available for free.

Not commercial support, since FreeBSD isn't a commercial project.

Basically FreeBSD support is what you see on the web page.
In some sense, you could say that all of FreeBSD- development 
and support - is by third party sources or maybe that all third
party contributers are part of the FreeBSD project at some level.

In other words, development in FreeBSD land comes from those who
use it to provide services - of any kind including supporting
other's use of it for hire.

But, no, the FreeBSD project per se does not offer commercial support.

It's a blame game as much as it is a genuine need for commercial help. As
much as mailing lists and community support are strong and effective, that's
not the kind of comfort level that corporates are going for, especially if
they are betting their million-dollar product/ server on it.

Yeah, but also the most irrelevant when it comes to supply chain folk.

FreeBSD offers non-commercial support through
mailing-lists and doc-project (FAQs and Handbooks)
which is probably the most comprehensive,
active and effective support there is.

It's a fine question, but it's well documented on the Project's
web site:

RE: FreeBSD Support Provider

[Ron Tschanschek]

Hello!
 
A good few months ago I was searching your site, looking for details of
any organisations that were located close to me, that provided FreeBSD
support. Unless I'm going mad, I seem to remember a company in West
Yorkshire, located not very far away from Halifax, which did just that.
I remember going to their website, which was linked from FreeBSD.org,
but I now cannot find hide or hair of them. Can you give me any clue's
as to who the company might have been?
 
Hope to hear from you soon.

The documentation doesn't describe the hardware in enough detail to be
sure without trying one (or at least seeing one, to be able to read
the chipset information off the chips).  

I *suspect* they should work, because they seem to be 3Com's
replacement for some older Tigon-based cards that I am using 
successfully.  But naturally the hardware may have changed completely
in the redesign...

Not necessarily, this can also be a FreeBSD bug. I have several boards 
where this error occurs when ACPI is enabled. It's not a hardware 
problem. The floppy drives work with other systems, but not with 
FreeBSD+ACPI (4.9 - 5.1).

This boot error message general means that your floppy drive is
broken.
When was the last time you used it?
Try to verify that it's in working order by booting an MS/Window
system on that PC,
or swap that floppy drive with one from some other PC that you can
test works first.
