honestly speaking, openbsd does not encourage generic drivers. they even removed many of them on their base kernel. if it does not guaranteed to work, they just 1.) disable it on the base kernel 2.) remove it (so what if other os has it, as long as it isn't stable or half baked, its useless for me) and in my experience w/ lsi sata 300-8x, openbsd's driver is better than any linux' software driver. now that's quality to me. cheers! _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Read the Guidelines: http://linux.org.ph/lists Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
