Mylex adapters with 2.x firmware and "couldn't map register window"
I've had a lot of requests for something to be done about this, and I've finally gotten a few minutes to make it happen. The fix for this has been committed to -stable, and there's a kit for 4.1-RELEASE users wanting to install on these adapters at http://people.freebsd.org/~msmith/RAID/mylex/mlx2_patchkit.tar.gz Note that this has only been lightly tested; the changes don't affect other adapters, but I don't have one of these adapters to test with directly (all my v2.x adapters have memory windows). I have two success reports already though, and I'd like to hear a few more. -- ... every activity meets with opposition, everyone who acts has his rivals and unfortunately opponents also.

There are a bunch of mobile phones out here with built in modems. Point the phone at the computer and suddenly (in Windows) you've got a modem attached to COM2 (or whatever) -- again, without needing the additional cabling. This is a good thing.

Re: Does anyone succeed on making world from 3.5S to 4.1S ?
I had a similar experience with 3.4-s to 4.x-s, however, mine was simply cause by me not reading /usr/src/UPDATING, after reading that I had no problems... (although I actually recovered that machine without reinstalling after using /stand/sysinstall as my shell, when nothing else would load anymore, then following the instructions correctly got it all back) Andrew On Fri, 4 Aug 2000, Andrew L.

Re: Re[2]: Network load balancing hardware ...
Hi, You just have to fall in love with open source software. :) I used freshmeat.net to look for VRRP and found this site. http://w3.arobas.net/~jetienne/vrrpd/index.html It seems to only run on Linux for the moment. It is a userspace app so maybe getting it to work on something else might not be too difficult.

Re: sysinstall and compaq smart raid disks (idad)
I used the sysinstall from the June 2nd snapshot. The DL360
can't boot the freebsd CD so I created the two floppy set
to install with. I did use the sysinstall on the floppies.
The dmesg identifies the device as:
ida0: port 0x2000-0x20ff mem
0xc400-0xc4ff,0xc500-0xc5ff irq 3 at device 1.0 on pci0
ida0: drives=1 firm_rev=1.40
sysinstall detected this device just fine.
