So the ahc driver should work ok as module ?

So will I do then; it's a bit problematic here because I have >8Mb patches in my local tree for Capi4BSD support among other things on that host.

The driver is designed to match Id's that are 'close enough', and a stock 29160 should have no trouble being matched. Please compile the driver into the kernel to rule this out.

We just built a new system, everything appears to work great until we plug in the ZCR, at which point, as the techie describes: "When I boot the server up with that raid card in the proper slot, it just powers itself off immediately." Now, I'm pretty much ready to say to hell with it and go with s/w RAID, but I want to make sure we haven't overlooked something obvious here first ... Thoughts? Advice? Thanks ... ---- Marc G.

Hmm, a quick shot: Is it the same zero-Channel card that Intel also sells for the Sun Fire 65x series? Then its basically a ICP-Vortex design, and I remember, that on Intel Mainboards you need to plug it in a special slot, because it only works in that slot properly. Got some time ago a 65x for a short time to test, and that card worked properly with 4.9R and 5.2.1R.

When I try to install FreeBSD the array containing the 36GB drives is fine. When I start to use fdisk on the RAID 5 array containing the 8 times 146GB is gives a geometry error. I saw in forums that is is a common problem. But can I safly ignor it. This because it will be a high load production server. Jeroen Molinger Netherlands
