freebsd stable - Mar 2018 - FreeBSD 11.1,11-stable,12-current on Dell H740p raid

Hi,


I got issue with Dell PowerEdge R740/R640 server with H740p and FreeBSD
11.1-Release, 11-stable, 12-current

In all version I don't able to find the raid controler, so no disk...so of
course impossible to install anything.

I don't know if it's the right mailing-list, but if they are someone can
help....

In other way, I can do ? any ? test for making thing work and help the
freebsd team. Because Dell are still a large provider for hardware, and that
would
be very sad if FreeBSD cannot run on Dell.

I still got some time (~ 1 month) before the server go in to production.

For information Debian with Linux kernel prio to 4.14 don't work either.
Currently only
RedHat 7 work out of the box.

Regards.

Download the driver from

https://www.broadcom.com/products/storage/raid-controllers/megaraid-9460-8i#downloads
