How about a dmesg?

You can yap all day long but if you don't provide what people need to
help you you'll get no good answer.

It's the same problem i had with the IBM x3650:

"Adaptec ASR-2120S" rev 0x02 at pci11 dev 0 function 0 not configured


The driver is not enabled by default. 

I established conversation with Adaptec, and i will post all of it
soon.

If Adaptec had good news, they would probably have told us "here is
the documentation you asked for" in the last 6 years since we asked.

There is nothing they will tell you that has any benefit to us.  Don't
If you find something out, don't bother telling the mailing lists.
There would be no point, since it will just be nice words; nice, but
useful, and as lying and deceitful as their words for the last 6
years.

If Adaptec wanted to change the situation, they have had more than
enough time.

Wow.  You can find that page, but you can't read it.

[Anathae Townsend]

If you read the nearly top line of that page you'll notice that it request
that you read the date of the message before going ape shit.

Unfortunately, Adaptec has fallen from OpenBSD Heaven.

Theo,

I will keep bothering Adaptec and IBM then.

There is a popular speech in my country ( I am brazilian). It is: I am
brazilian and I WILL NEVER GIVE UP.

One day they will wake up and I hope to be alive to see it happening.

Btw, Is this true: http://mongers.org/openbsd/hardware

Cause there you said you use adaptec. Wow.. how come?
If it not work under openbsd, you should not even suggest/say their
name. right?

I tought my problem is due to my SAS hard drives.

If we wont able to have it working, I will replace my Adaptec
controller.
I already mailed my local IBM vendor about that.

I don't want cause any trouble. I just love using OpenBSD and I mailed
this list cause I bought a US$6000 server and its still off.  I don't
wanna see it running windows 2003( bleh ).

Peace.
