And where can I find the hardware compatibility list, please? I haven't checked since I don't know where to look for it. The only thing I have is : http://www.freebsd.org/relnotes/6-STABLE/hardware/amd64/index.html ... but it doesn't name any specific motherboards... and the "supported device" page doesn't even mention "radeon"... so I'm thinking this may not be the complete list. Or FreeBDS is not supporting modern enough hardware for me (though that ST20G5 is starting to be a good year old). Gilles.

List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sun, 25 Feb 2007 13:22:50 -0000 Yes, Im not surprised really, New PCI DEVICE ID's is used all the time. The "Sun Ultra 20 M2" is just a few months old. Its a new motherboard compared to the "Sun Ultra20" which has been around for a year and is already obsolete. Maybe the real question is: When any new Motherboard is evaluated for compatability, do we have a list of which PCI Device ID's the current FreeBSD devicedrivers support ? I am a bit rusty on FreeBSD presently , having worked mostly with OpenSolaris for the last year. On Solaris10/OpenSolaris a file called /etc/driver_aliases is created which contains all the known PCI-DEVICE ID's known by the software ( devicedrivers ). Then when you perform a pciscan you can evaluate whether the hardware you actually have has PCIDevice codes unkown to the device-drivers. FreeBSD has a very good list of supported Hardware that details which chipsets are supported. Maybe this list now needs to be enhanced with the PCI device codes, as a device with the same generic name apperantly now can have several PCI Device codes.

It does not list motherboard but components instead. You can check the HCL if for example a gigabit controller is supported under FreeBSD. In this case you have to look for ata(4) because you're looking for a generic ATA/SATA controller. If you click that link, you'll see this page: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=ata&sektion=4&manpath=FreeBSD+6.0-stable It's a bit confusing but ULi was previously named ALi (Acer Labs Inc) so ULi controllers are listed under ALi. The website you gave me provided no clue about the actual controller used. They provided no real "specifications" just marketing talk. ;-) But by using Google i found this dmesg under OpenBSD: http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/openbsd/2006-01/1400.html There we can see: vendor "Acer Labs", unknown product 0x5287 (class mass storage subclass SATA, rev 0x02) at pci0 dev 31 function 1 not configured So the actual SATA controller is called ULi 5287, and this controller is listed in the ata(4) manpage. The author of that thread also said the SATA works under FreeBSD (but not OpenBSD). So i think your SATA will work fine. Your gigabit ethernet should work fine too, its BCM5751 which works with bge-driver: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=bge&sektion=4&manpath=FreeBSD+6.0-stable If you have an opportunity to test this board under FreeBSD be sure to submit the dmesg and list of what works / doesnt work to this list: http://www.freebsd.org/platforms/amd64/motherboards.html Hope this helps. :) - Veronica From owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Sun Feb 25 18:50:52 2007 Return-Path: X-Original-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Delivered-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [69.147.83.52]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 107C516A401 for ; Sun, 25 Feb 2007 18:50:52 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from msn@paultjuh.org) Received: from pvdl.nl.eu.org (84-245-34-247.dsl.cambrium.nl [84.245.34.247]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 925BF13C4A3 for ; Sun, 25 Feb 2007 18:50:51 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from msn@paultjuh.org) Received: from 84.245.34.247 ([84.245.34.247]) (authenticated user msn@paultjuh.org) by pvdl.nl.eu.org (pvdl.nl.eu.org [10.0.0.150]) (MDaemon.PRO.v6.8.5.R) with ESMTP id 3-md50000000002.tmp for ; Sun, 25 Feb 2007 19:50:09 +0100 Message-ID: <45E1DA61.8090607@paultjuh.org> Date: Sun, 25 Feb 2007 19:50:09 +0100 From: Paul van der Linden User-Agent: Thunderbird 1.5.0.9 (Windows/20061207) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Authenticated-Sender: msn@paultjuh.org X-Spam-Processed: pvdl.nl.eu.org, Sun, 25 Feb 2007 19:50:09 +0100 (not processed: message from valid local sender) X-MDRemoteIP: 84.245.34.247 X-Return-Path: msn@paultjuh.org X-MDaemon-Deliver-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Hardware supported?

Does this mean the raid functionality isn't supported, or the complete ICH7 is supported(ICH7, ICH7R, enz)?

Thanks for the info. On my side, I've installed the latest Ubuntu (feisty) on it (previous version didn't work with the local SATA controler)... which works fine. It identifies the hard disk controler as an ULi 5287 from ALi Corporation. Under it, the SATA drive is seen as a SCSI (go figure)... and the disk is perfectly identified... The motherboard chipset is identified as RS480... On the ATA man page, the ALi M5287 disk controler is marked as supported... On the HCL, there are several systems with ATI Radeon XPRESS 200 and RS48x chipsets that are supported... So this is really strange. Gilles.

The actual RAID is done by drivers; onboard RAID is actually software RAID with a minor RAID BIOS which can write metainformation about the array configuration and has BIOS bootstrap support. This is also called "fake RAID". FreeBSD does support some fake RAID metainformation though, by reading the metainfo from the disks and assigning it's own software RAID-mechanism to it. For information of which metainformation formats are supported, checkout the ataraid(4) manpage: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=ataraid&apropos=0&sektion=4&manpath=FreeBSD+6.2-RELEASE&format=html If your fakeraid is called "Intel MatrixRAID", then yes FreeBSD does detect the metainfo and you will have a "ar0" for your first fakeraid array. You should be able to install (and boot) from fakeRAID since there is BIOS bootstrap support. - Veronica From owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Mon Feb 26 08:03:36 2007 Return-Path: X-Original-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Delivered-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [69.147.83.52]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 890A216A401 for ; Mon, 26 Feb 2007 08:03:36 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from root@active.sk) Received: from s1.active.sk (ns.active.sk [217.67.25.9]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 407DC13C441 for ; Mon, 26 Feb 2007 08:03:36 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from root@active.sk) Received: from localhost (localhost.active.sk [127.0.0.1]) by s1.active.sk (Postfix) with ESMTP id ADF3B5C07A for ; Mon, 26 Feb 2007 08:37:17 +0100 (CET) X-Virus-Scanned: amavisd-new at active.sk Received: from s1.active.sk ([127.0.0.1]) by localhost (mail.active.sk [127.0.0.1]) (amavisd-new, port 10024) with ESMTP id Sp-NujxBuRiq for ; Mon, 26 Feb 2007 08:37:14 +0100 (CET) Received: by s1.active.sk (Postfix, from userid 0) id B4CA25C079; Mon, 26 Feb 2007 08:37:14 +0100 (CET) Date: Mon, 26 Feb 2007 08:37:14 +0100 From: MeX To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Message-ID: <20070226073714.GA67880@active.sk> References: <45E1DA61.8090607@paultjuh.org> <45E2224B.9030605@fluffles.net> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline In-Reply-To: <45E2224B.9030605@fluffles.net> User-Agent: Mutt/1.4.2.2i Subject: Re: Hardware supported?

There's nothing similar in FreeBSD. Most drivers have a PCI ID table embedded in them in some form but there's no defined interface for querying a driver as to what PCI IDs it recognizes. Each driver is responsible for deciding whether it can support a specific device or not. That decision can be based on information other than just the PCI ID. For example the RealTek 8139 and 8139C+ share the same PCI ID but have different FreeBSD drivers (rl(4) and re(4), respectively). Note that ISA devices (for example) don't have anything equivalent to a PCI ID. >FreeBSD has a very good list of supported Hardware that details =20 >which chipsets are supported.=20 That list is auto-generated from the section 4 man pages.

This has always been the case. Compaq/HP (and probably other vendors) regularly put vendor-specific PCI IDs into generic parts in their systems. Conversely, changing the chips in systems without mentioning this anywhere is also quite common (WLAN cards are notorious for this) - this can mean that two cards with identical part numbers and otherwise indistinguishable from the outside of the box can require totally different drivers. --=20 Peter Jeremy --KFztAG8eRSV9hGtP Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFF4qPY/opHv/APuIcRAp6zAJ94oNfglTXI7gjTSHMAOQwvGqAaOACfTAIT /0YMzMc85NhXp/OIot1EhBY= =M+4r -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --KFztAG8eRSV9hGtP-- From owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Mon Feb 26 10:27:15 2007 Return-Path: X-Original-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Delivered-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [69.147.83.52]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 9559916A400 for ; Mon, 26 Feb 2007 10:27:15 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from msn@paultjuh.org) Received: from pvdl.nl.eu.org (84-245-34-247.dsl.cambrium.nl [84.245.34.247]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 2439613C428 for ; Mon, 26 Feb 2007 10:27:14 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from msn@paultjuh.org) Received: from 84.245.34.247 ([84.245.34.247]) (authenticated user msn@paultjuh.org) by pvdl.nl.eu.org (pvdl.nl.eu.org [10.0.0.150]) (MDaemon.PRO.v6.8.5.R) with ESMTP id 17-md50000000002.tmp for ; Mon, 26 Feb 2007 11:27:27 +0100 Message-ID: <45E2B60F.9030108@paultjuh.org> Date: Mon, 26 Feb 2007 11:27:27 +0100 From: Paul van der Linden User-Agent: Thunderbird 1.5.0.9 (Windows/20061207) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org References: <45E1DA61.8090607@paultjuh.org> <45E2224B.9030605@fluffles.net> In-Reply-To: <45E2224B.9030605@fluffles.net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Authenticated-Sender: msn@paultjuh.org X-Spam-Processed: pvdl.nl.eu.org, Mon, 26 Feb 2007 11:27:27 +0100 (not processed: message from valid local sender) X-MDRemoteIP: 84.245.34.247 X-Return-Path: msn@paultjuh.org X-MDaemon-Deliver-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Hardware supported?

Metadata read still means it can read and write to the array. This is all stated in the manpage, by the way: Read-only support for a metadata format means that FreeBSD can use the given RAID array for normal read/write operations. Creation and rebuild of such arrays has to be done from the controller BIOS. Read and write support for a metadata format means that FreeBSD can use the given RAID array for normal read/write operations. Additionally, the atacontrol(8) utility can be used to create, rebuild, update and fail such RAID arrays. - Veronica From owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Mon Feb 26 11:10:07 2007 Return-Path: X-Original-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Delivered-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [69.147.83.52]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id A3BAB16A406 for ; Mon, 26 Feb 2007 11:10:07 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from etc@fluffles.net) Received: from auriate.fluffles.net (cust.95.160.adsl.cistron.nl [195.64.95.160]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 545EE13C4A8 for ; Mon, 26 Feb 2007 11:10:03 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from etc@fluffles.net) Received: from destiny ([10.0.0.21]) by auriate.fluffles.net with esmtpa (Exim 4.63 (FreeBSD)) (envelope-from ) id 1HLdju-000A0g-KK; Mon, 26 Feb 2007 12:09:54 +0100 Message-ID: <45E2C064.3060704@fluffles.net> Date: Mon, 26 Feb 2007 12:11:32 +0100 From: Fluffles User-Agent: Thunderbird 1.5.0.8 (X11/20061114) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: Paul van der Linden References: <45E1DA61.8090607@paultjuh.org> <45E2224B.9030605@fluffles.net> <45E2B60F.9030108@paultjuh.org> In-Reply-To: <45E2B60F.9030108@paultjuh.org> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Cc: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Hardware supported?

No hardware acceleration and you are bound to the motherboard or similar chipset with RAID controller. So if your motherboard dies, you cannot just use another motherboard, since this motherboard will likely have another chipset which uses another metadata structure. Thus, you will have trouble getting your data back if you are unexperienced. The only thing fake RAID does implement is proper boot support; if that is not required then i strongly advise you to use software RAID (gstripe) instead; to be more flexible and hardware-independent. > I was planning to setup my server with raid 1, But will it still boot > when 1 harddisk fails? Yes, this will actually work with both fake RAID (onboard RAID) and software RAID. Because with RAID1, you can boot off both disks, or the logically created array. Once booted, FreeBSD should identify the RAID volume and act appropriately. If one disk is missing, it will not update it, so you will be running in a degraded mode. If ataraid(4) does not support writing metadata for the fake RAID controller, you will have to reboot and 'rebuild' your volume in the controller BIOS. This is of course more troublesome then with software RAID. If FreeBSD supports writing the metadata format, however, no reboot is necessary and you can rebuild with atacontrol(4). - Veronica From owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Mon Feb 26 13:48:21 2007 Return-Path: X-Original-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Delivered-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [69.147.83.52]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id F32DF16A400 for ; Mon, 26 Feb 2007 13:48:20 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from groot@kde.org) Received: from smeltpunt.science.ru.nl (smeltpunt.science.ru.nl [131.174.16.145]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 948AA13C461 for ; Mon, 26 Feb 2007 13:48:20 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from groot@kde.org) Received: from adsl-dc-2f63f.adsl.wanadoo.nl [83.116.148.63] (helo=[10.0.0.103]) (authen=adridg) by smeltpunt.science.ru.nl (8.13.7/5.11) with ESMTP id l1QDmHM1015312 for ; Mon, 26 Feb 2007 14:48:19 +0100 (MET) From: Adriaan de Groot Organization: KDE-NL To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Date: Mon, 26 Feb 2007 15:48:16 +0100 User-Agent: KMail/1.9.1 References: <45E1DA61.8090607@paultjuh.org> <45E2B60F.9030108@paultjuh.org> <45E2C064.3060704@fluffles.net> In-Reply-To: <45E2C064.3060704@fluffles.net> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline Message-Id: <200702261548.16795.groot@kde.org> Subject: Re: Hardware supported?

The amusing thing is that even if the MB doesn't recognize the metadata on the disks (because you've moved the drive to a different machine) the FBSD ataraid(4) driver still will, so I've had cases of running a degraded ar0 nVidia mediashield raid-1 array on a machine with only a promise and a via controller :) -- KDE Quality Team http://www.englishbreakfastnetwork.org/ GPG: FEA2 A3FE http://people.fruitsalad.org/adridg/ "It is impossible to make an emphatic point with only two arms."

I tried booting the machine from a FreeSBIE CD, and I ran fsck to check the drive, which gave me the following messages: FREE BLK COUNT(S) WRONG IN SUPERBLK SALVAGE? no SUMMARY INFORMATION BAD SALVAGE? no BLK(S) MISSING IN BIT MAPS SALVAGE? no Now my question is, do I try mounting the drive and attempt to backup my data, or should I run fsck first before doing this?
