ServeRAID-6M on x335 with Freebsd 5.2

[yh tan]

Hello,

My apologies, there's another typo on the "hard-coded" 
vendor/deviceID values for ServeRAID-6M on x335 with 
Freebsd 5.2,

Please use this values instead...

/usr/src/sys/dev/ips/ips.h
===========================
#define IPS_VENDOR_ID                   0x9005
#define IPS_MORPHEUS_DEVICE_ID          0x0250


Recompile your kernel and install it. 
This hard-coded values will work for serveraid-6M cards only!
sorry for the rest u need to use pciconf -lv to check the 
device id (????) for your adaptec cards and replace the "????"
for the "morpheus_device_id" 0x????.


My apologies for confusing any individual using my previous 'wrong' 
values and couldn't get the card to work.


Cheers,
Yanghwee.
