Err, I have absolutely no idea why FreeBSD is reporting 8 PCI bridges. As long as it isn't causing problems I would just write it off as a weird glitch. As far as the controller issue, from what I gather the driver for many Compaq RAID controller, including yours, isn't in a 'final' form due to Compaq's lack of helpful hardware specs or detailed programming interface information. I have never worked with this controller, so the best that I can do is give some general and probably useless advice: Try updating the controllers firmware. Updates can usually be found at http://www.compaq.com/support/files/server/us/index.html Try using an older version of the driver. The current one is a rewrite of Mark Dawson's drivers which can be found at http://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~md/ida/ Andy Doran (ad@netbsd.org) wrote a driver for NetBSD last year. You might ask him to release it for FreeBSD if it hasn't already been done I have no idea how to reload the kernel multiple times other than by doing it manually at the initial timed prompt. If the controller needs some more time to initialize, you can increase the delay time of that initial prompt. I can't for the life of me remember how at the moment, but it's really simple. Perhaps after some sleep. I'm sure someone on this board will remember better than myself as I am still a FreeBSD novice myself. Sorry I couldn't help more. The problem does sound similar to one that occurs on my server with it's SCSI controller if the SCSI timeout is set too low. While the SCSI timeout apparently doesn't apply to your RAID controller, the need for a timeout may apply. Here's a shot in the dark--if the disks aren't spinning up fast enough...and I am probably utterly on the wrong track here...you may be able to set the disks to spin up immediately upon powerup rather than on the SCSI-bus startup command (which is often default). My Seagate Elite SX4464524 requires around a 20 second pause at boot time if I don't enable that feature. Must. Sleep. Now. Charles Burns >From: "Andrew C.
