Hey Tim, I have a server with a 2 x 2.4ghz xeons, a gigabyte motherboard, and a 2120s setup in raid5 (3 drives and 1 hotspare, all seagate) running freebsd 6.2. I didn't have any problems running the installer or the array being degraded. The only problem I ran into was when I enabled more than 4GB of memory support, the array would not sync correctly. I did have some odd behavior before I updated my drives to the latest firmware, however two drives were one revision and two were another revision. All in all I am very happy with my setup. Cheers, Jason Hensler omegadraconis@gmail.com On Dec 22, 2007 4:00 AM, <freebsd-isp-request@freebsd.org> wrote: > Hi All, > > Has anyone installed Freebsd 6.x on a dual xeon system with an adaptec > 2120s > raid controller card? > > The hardware I am using is dual 2.4 ghz zeon processors > Corsair 2 GB ram > tyan s3022 Mainboard with or with out the LSI scsi enabled in the bios > Adaptec 2120s raid controller > > I am trying to install such a system and each time I try and install the > system it crashes / freezes at one pointor another.
