Updatehave confirmed that the adapter Lenovo lists as a ThinkSystem RAID 930-8i, is a Broadcom (LSI) SAS 3508 (8 Port SAS/PCIe) RAID controller. This RAID controller is supported by the mpr driver which i am enabling using the same method above, except using the mpr driver."press esc at the OPNsense welcome screen, issue command "set mpr_load=yes" at the loader prompt."however on boot i have watched drivers being loaded by the kernel and mpr.ko is not one of them.Can anyone suggest how i can get this driver to load?
kldload mpr
kldload: can't load mpr.ko: module already loaded or in kernel

Probably (but i'am not sure) the Lenovo ThinkSystem RAID 930-8i will do not because of different Firmware/Bios . Can you provide/post a dmesg output ?If i do on my opnsense box:Code: [Select]kldload mpri will getCode: [Select]kldload: can't load mpr.ko: module already loaded or in kernelSo i would assume the module was already loaded...regards pylox
