>From freebsd-current@:

I've merged some changes from this driver to RELENG_6 sources.
I've created a custom FreeBSD 6.2-BETA1 ISO image with a my
patch to aac(4).
Now i've successfully installed FreeBSD to my new IBM x3650
with an IBM ServeRAID-8k controller. I think that this patch
can be successfully applied to CURRENT sources. 

>How-To-Repeat:
FreeBSD don't recognize of some lastest Adaptec adapters.
