The necessary fixes for i915 and i945 are in 7-current, and I have asked several times in the past to MFC the code to RELENG_6 (and I even showed that it's possible: My laptop is running RELENG_6, with some code taken from -current, so AGP is detected fine, so 3D acceleration + XVideo works). So, if you need that support, you have to do any of these: - Switch to 7-current, or - Merge the code into RELENG_6 yourself, like I did, or - Try to talk someone into MFCing the AGP/DRM code.

But after that, can I install FreeBSD with the standard installer? I'm not sure if 'ataraid' is included in GENERIC. Will the installer notice the RAID-1 array as a new physical drive? Unfortunately, I do not have the hardware yet, so I cannot try this. A real SCSI RAID controller would be too expensive for me. If I cannot install the whole system on the mirrored set, then probably it is better to use gvinum, because it allows me to buy a cheaper motherboard and use different hard drives. However, gvinum also has disadvantages (cannot mirror the root fs, or it is too difficult and I'm not familiar with vinum...)

You'll probably have to setup the raid manually (instead of sysinstall) using atacontrol(8)-- the man page is pretty helpful. > Unfortunately, I do not have the > hardware yet, so I cannot try this.

Correct, gvinum has disadvantages, but mirroring the root FS is actually pretty easy: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/vinum-root.html gvinum doesn't have all the functionality of the original vinum (yet). But if you're just using RAID-1 (mirroring), why not use gmirror(8)? From my observations, gmirror performs better than hardware mirroring, in general. -- Rick C.

I've bought a Promise FastTrak TX4310 because I thought that it will be supported by FreeBSD's ata/ar driver...: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=ata&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+6.0-stable&format=html I've updated the controller's BIOS to the newest available v2.5.1.3116: http://www.promise.com/support/download/download2_eng.asp?productID=165&category=all&os=100 And there are two Seagate ST3300622AS connected to the controller with RAID0. But if I boot from a 6.1-RELEASE-i386-disc then I only get an ad6 and an ad10 device and no arX device... :-((( So I can't use them in RAID0 mode... Can anyone of you help me?

I created the stripe through the BIOS as I did it with my old HPT370 controller which is also supported by the ata driver. And to access the drives at my HPT370 controller I can use /dev/adX and /dev/ar0 More information: There's the same problem with the old (first) BIOS version of the TX4310. The Windows XP installation routine (with the driver floppy disk for the TX4310) does recognize the RAID0 volume. Thanks for your fast answer!

I'm not sure the ata driver understands the metadata format but if it does then it might work using that instead of the bios.

I didn't want to use atacontrol but now it seems if it would be the only way out... So I did the following with the help of the "live" filesystem from the FreeBSD CD: atacontrol create RAID0 32 ad6 ad10 with a stripe size of 32*512B=16kB like it's set in the controller's BIOS. And I've got an ar1 device but I couldn't see any partitions which I created before during the Windows installation... But then I had the idea to delete the ar1 and to do this: atacontrol create RAID0 32 ad10 ad6 I changed the order of the two devices (ad6 and ad10) and now I could see my partition table and mount a filesystem... After a reboot the /dev/ar1 device swaped to /dev/ar0 but it was existent. So I wanted to try If I can still boot my Windows installation and it was possible - so far so good. But then I've booted again the FreeBSD CD and wanted to continue with the installation but the /dev/ar0 device was no longer there. I've repeated all steps and now I know that Windows always "demages" the RAID0 volume which I create by atacontrol... That's not a big problem because I don't really want to use Windows on my system but I wanted to tell you this facts. Many thanks for your help! Regards, Lukas
