Hi all,
I have to install two production servers from Dell that come with a Perc H 200
controller.
Disks are not recognized with 8.2-RELEASE :-(
Any ideas? If this works with 8-stable, where can I download an ISO Image?
Mamy thanks and best regards,
Holger

If this works with 8-stable, where can I download an ISO Image?Unfortunately the latest official snapshots were before the driver was merged. You could try first just to boot on the curent / FreeBSD 9 snapshots and see if it sees your disks at all. You can get the snapshot from ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/201102/ . I don't think there are any other snapshot services still running... so (assuming mps(4) actually works with H200) you need to make a build of stable/8 yourself - the simplest approach is probably to PXE boot the servers and install by hand... but that's of course not a trivial thing if you never tried it before. I suspect there will be new official snapshots at some point, but I don't know when... -- Simon L. B. Nielsen
