I just got an email from Marcos Laufer and he already contacted Adaptec. It seems he have some 'news'. I hope they are good news.
I was reading his posts and I am very disappointed with Adaptec and IBM. I will also email them about it. I also found this: http://www.adaptec.com/en-US/downloads/unix/sco_unix?productId=ASR-2120S&dn=A daptec+SCSI+RAID+2120S It4s adaptec driver to Unix SCO. Is this usefull to solve this current problem? -----Mensagem original----- De: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Em nome de Ricardo Augusto de Souza Enviada em: quinta-feira, 23 de outubro de 2008 17:24 Para: [email protected] Assunto: RES: OpenBSD on IBM System X3550 7879 Finally here is the dmesg OpenBSD 4.3 (RAMDISK_CD) #645: Wed Mar 12 11:31:03 MDT 2008 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/RAMDISK_CD cpu0: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5405 @ 2.00GHz ("GenuineIntel" 686-class) 2 GHz cpu0: FPU,V86,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,PSE36, CF LUSH,DS,ACPI,MMX,FXSR,SSE,SSE2,SS,HTT,TM,SBF,SSE3,MWAIT,DS-CPL,VMX,TM2,C X16,xTPR real mem = 3220541440 (3071MB) avail mem = 3122683904 (2978MB) mainbus0 at root bios0 at mainbus0: AT/286+ BIOS, date 02/08/08, BIOS32 rev. 0 @ 0xfd841, SMBIOS rev. 2.4 @ 0xbffcee80 (86 entries) bios0: vendor IBM version "-[GFE136BUS-1.09]-" date 02/08/2008 bios0: IBM IBM System x3550 -[7978B1U]- acpi0 at bios0: rev 2, can't enable ACPI bios0: ROM list: 0xc0000/0xb000 0xcb000/0x1800 0xcc800/0x1800 0xce000/0x5000!

I expected it to work in a kind of "pass-through" mode by default, when you can access drives from the OS, but this wasn't the case. So, please make sure you have created a RAID using mini menu after POST, before you start OpenBSD installation process Regards, -- Marcin
