Last month I purchased a Highpoint 2320 raid card, = http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=3DN82E16816115026 , for = my FreeBSD server. I'm new to the FreeBSD world - so please bear with = me as I try to solve the following issue. With the card installed - the server hangs during the boot process. I = don't even get to the standard FreeBSD boot menus (loader prompt, = single-user mode, etc.), rather the freeze occurs after a "console" = message and then a listing of physical disks. A picture of where the = hang occurs is at http://www.camerontune.com/images/photo.jpg .=20 As far as I can tell this card is supported on FreeBSD (running 8.1 = STABLE i386). I've updated the motherboard bios, and have also monkeyed = around with just about every possible setting in the card's bios. = Motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3P. I've combed through every possible log I can find in /var/logs - but I'm = not finding anything that starts this early in the boot process. I've = also ensured that all drivers are present and loaded in loader.conf - = however I don't think I'm even getting to the point of drivers being = loaded. Any thoughts are appreciated - and please let me know if there's any = additional information I can provide that may help diagnose the problem.=
