HP P400 cards are PCI express and SAS - they work very well under FreeBSD.
I've also used the cheaper E200 and that appears to be fine too, though I
havent run it for as long as the 400's.

Following upon my own stuff, I just laid hands on a Quad-Xeon machine with an
Intel SRCSAS18E card in it, and well, the only way I can describe it is "oh
my GOD!"
Ok, another followup!
Is there a mangement interface program for the "mfi" driver somewhere? I
rooted around in "ports" but didn't find one, nor on the base system.
The Linux ones want to talk to the "amr" driver which is the older LSI Logic
MegaRAID boards, not the newer ones that the mfi driver talks to.
No management tool = el-sucko, because you can't rebuild a failed disk or
even shut the alarm on the board off!
Its sysutils/linux-megacli.
Nope. It builds and installs but doesn't work (already tried this one.)
Attempting to ask it for the number of boards returns "0".
This may have something to do with changes made to the device structure(s)
in FreeBSD-7 (I don't have a 6 machine to test on any more) but it
definitely does not function.
It works fine for me on very recent 7-STABLE.
megacli -CfgDsply -a0

megacli -AdpAllInfo -aALL also works without a problem.

Did you follow all steps from ports/sysutils/linux-megacli/pkg-message ?
Though I think there is a small bug in the port (maintainer CCed)
It wants compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.12, but I think it should be
compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.16 ?
Just for reference I installed it with OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT=f8
I think you are confusing mega-cli with megamgr (which is the one that
work with amr driver)
