It's time to upgrade my server hardware.I was a bit burnt when I tried to upgrade my current hardware to NetBSD 9.0 back when it came out, as it turned out my SATA controllers didn't work under Xen due to some change in the interrupt system; but now the hardware is ageing, I want to make sure whatever I buy next will work with the latest kernel :-)
I don't think I can check this just by looking at the chipset support - after all, my SATA chipset is fully supported by NetBSD 9 and works fine under a GENERIC kernel, just not in Xen - so I'd be very glad if anybody who's bought a server-class motherboard recently (with at least six SATA ports, ideally eight, and maybe multiple gigabit NICs) and confirmed it works with NetBSD/xen 9.3, could tell me what they bought :-)
