Hi, sorry for not answering earlier, but I only had the time myself to test the IDA support in 4.x yesterday, which is why I didnīt have any experience to share with you. I also tried booting the 4.0-RELEASE CD, and was able to install on the IDA driver, but it didnīt work after the reboot, just like many of you mailed me. Since I had heard a lot about changes in 4.0-STABLE regarding the IDA driver, i decided not to spend any more time on 4.0R and installed a 4.0-STABLE on my machine. In this version the IDA devices got their own device name, instead of using the IDE support. This should mean that you should be able to have IDE devices along with booting off the IDA devices. I didnīt have any IDE devices when I did this, so if any of you test this, I would very much like to hear about it, so I can put it on my website. To install 4.0-STABLE just go to ftp://releng4.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/i386 and download the floppies for a snapshot, and then boot them. Then select the releng4 FTP site when doing a network install. I used 4.0-20000602-STABLE, worked fine for me. I have updated the website to reflect all these new things: http://seeberg.dk/freebsd/idaraid Please fill out the form if your IDA site/machine/workstation isnīt on the list, so we can convince Compaq to support the FreeBSD project (I had a disk crash on my laptop a few months ago, so I might have lost your addition to the list). I also played around with the ARRAY expanding feature, read more about this on the site. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ /\/\orten $eeberg, Systems Consultant @ Merkantildata - Enterprise Solutions #echo 'System Administrators suck :)' > /dev/console To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
