ServeRAID on IBM xSeries 335

[Noor Dawod]

Hi Scott,

Bummer man :( This means that I would have to install Linux (ughhh) on this
brand new server!
Isn't there any possibility to incorporate this into the 4.x branch during
this week? It's important...

Thanks in advance.

Noor

Hi,

This hardware is only supported by FreeBSD 5.x.  Backporting it to 4.x
is possible, but I don't have and spare time to do it right now.
