Try booting from ad4, thats what I did to get things back on for the time being, no RAID at the moment I'm afraid. I'm now using it as a ordinary two channel controller while some scripts mirror the data until I get round to replacing the card. Just out of interest can anyone tell me why it was decided that support for this card should be removed/ broken without warning (no UPDATING heads-up ?) it was working perfectly for me :-( I can only assume it was some very nasty data loss potential? -- Dominic -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-stable@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-stable@freebsd.org]On Behalf Of Mark Gebert Sent: 10 January 2005 02:47 To: freebsd-stable@freebsd.org Subject: FBSD 5.3 w/ Silicon Image SATA I have a Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe with a Silicon Image Sil 3112a controller. I was able to create the ar0 device while loading the OS but cannot boot off the resulting load (the image is mirrored on both drives). The ar0 device does not appear in the kernel messages. The error I get is: Mounting root from ufs:/dev/ar0s1a setrootbyname failed ffs_mountroot: can't find rootvp Root mount failed: 6 Any advice on how to make the system load? --geeb -- Mark A Gebert ThugsRUs Networks _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
