 ## Broken hardware
 
 The products listed in this section are known to have some serious problems or not work at all with DragonFly BSD.
 
 * Asus M2N4-SLI: USB is not working on this model
+
+* Highpoint RocketRAID 17xx, 22xx, 23xx and 25xx RAID adapters: there is no driver for these adapters. A FreeBSD driver exists, but it uses a binary blob which causes panics. Highpoint
+has not been cooperative in documenting their hardware so that a proper driver can be written.
+
+* HP Pavilion laptops: as of 2012-07 it is impossible to run DragonFly on them due to broken ACPI interrupt routing in their firmware.
