FreeBSD schabell.ethz.ch 6.1-RELEASE-p10 FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE-p10 #0: Thu Nov  9 19:10:21 CET 2006     root@schabell.ethz.ch:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/SCHABELL  i386
>Description:
System with Adaptec 3210S (ADAP3210S) and GENERIC kernel with installed sysutils/asr-utils gives the following error:

root@schabell:~# raidutil -L all

Engine connect failed: COMPATILITY number
osdIOrequest : File /dev/rdptr17 Could Not Be Opened

After searching and trying around for a few hours (including creating links in /dev), we saw the comment about ASR_COMPAT kernel option in the webcvs source archive for asr.c [1] (Revision 1.64.2.1).

  [1] http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/dev/asr/asr.c

After adding the ASR_COMPAT option to the kernel it worked. Maybe this option is only need with 6.x FreeBSD, did not try any other version.
>How-To-Repeat:
run raidutil with GENERIC kernel
>Fix:
Add additional file pkg-message to sysutils/asr-utils with this content:

*******************************************************************************
*                                                                             *
* If raidutil gives errors like:                                              *
* Engine connect failed: COMPATILITY number                                   *
* osdIOrequest : File /dev/rdptr17 Could Not Be Opened                        *
*                                                                             *
* Then add "option ASR_COMPAT" into your kernel configuration.                *
*                                                                             *
* To configure and recompile your kernel see:                                 *
