iop(4) vs. HP NetRaid 1si

[Louis Bertrand <louis@bertrandtech.on.ca>]

Hi,

I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to get iop(4)
to support a HP NetRAID-1si in I2O mode (it works fine
with ami(4) in "mass storage" mode).

I put in lots of debug printf in /usr/src/sys/dev/i2o/iop.c
and watched the iop_post messages. It seems to go through
the device probing, but hangs in the startup hook.

Where I get suspicious is this message:
vendor specific extension at iop0 not configured

Are there proprietary I2O messages that are required to
light up this controller, and that's why it's not
supported?

Thanks
