Hello there, I am having troubles with FreeBSD (6.1) and supermicro server with ICH7R "raid" controller. I have created RAID10 array from 4 SATA wester digital raptors. After CD boot, I can see 5 HDD's: wd0-2d3 & ar0. So, all seems to be fine. fdisk & labeling is without any roubles. I tried fully dedicated and comaptiblke fdisk setups. Installation itselfs also without any problem, I can see that BSD is accessing RAID array (all 4 HDD's in use). Size of array etc. is correct on ar0 device. I also tried both possible boot managers avilable while installation. After reboot, BSD don't boot and I can see message "Boot error". Nothing more. I have no clue, if this is BIOS or readed MBR/bootsector. ctrl+alt+delete works this time and I can reboot machine. So, there is some boot problem, which I was not abble to solve. When I setup just mirror RAID (2 HDD's) - all works fine. Thank you in advance for any help/link :) -- Best regards, Lada 'Ray' Lostak Unreal64 Develop group http://www.unreal64.net http://www.orcave.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the 1960s you needed the power of two C64s to get a rocket to the moon.
