Require support for HP SmartArray P420i

[swartel@dw]

Dear Support Team,

Should it possible to get the HP SmartArray P420i controller been managed in 8.2.0-RELEASE-p1-x64. Disks are not found for this reason.
We also try FreeNAS-8.3.0-RC1-x64 but we fall into many troubles like ACPI Problem, network NIC not recognized when trying to boot OS using our freshly HP DL380 (gen8).

Or does anyone manage successfully with p420i ?
If needed, we should be ok for testing :)

Many thanks by advance,

This support was added to FreeBSD in 8.3. Can you give FreeNAS 8.3.0-RC1 a try to confirm that it works?

Yes it's OK with FreeNAS 8.3.0-RC1, great news !
load_ciss="YES" is required of course.

But for 8.3.0-RC1 to boot, I had to add load_acpi=NO to boot loader configuration file :-/
