X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Wed, 21 May 2003 12:29:15 -0000 Hi, We have installed FreeBSD 4.8 successfully on x345 using the integrated Raid LSI1030. For FreeBSD 5 and 5.1 beta encountered keyboard freeze on setup menu screen and kernel panic during booting respectively. (ServeRAID 5i still unable to be used for the moment). To enable the x345 integrated Raid F1 to bios setup and Go IO devices to ensure Planar SCSI is enabled. Save setting and exit. F1 again and then CTRL C to invoke LSI RAID configuration utility. This will bring you to LSI Logic MPT SCSI Setup utility 2400 9 Yes 0 Enabled 2500 9 Yes 1 Enabled Highlight the 1st line Select and hit enter. The default setting shows ID 0 80Mb/sec with bandwidth 8 <- move cursor to bandwidth column and press spacebar to change it to 16 this will automatically change the MB/sec to 160Mb/sec to match the rest of the harddisks to 160Mb. You can leave as default if you do not wish to change it. Press ESC to go back to Device properties menu Move cursor to Set your Primary Mirror, Secondary Mirror and hot spare accordingly under the Mirror Pair. Use Spacebar to change. Once done you can press Esc and Esc to Save your configuration and Reboot Note: If you do not want Mirroring you can leave Mirror Pair column blank but it will shows all the available harddisk during FreeBSD setup. Once done and rebooted you should see LSI scanning for SCSI devices and displayed the configured setting. Your FreeBSD setup should be smooth sailing from here.. Hope the above helps.

Then I tried 5.0 and checked out the drivers.flp option as well. No luck either .. I'm installing from floppies (kern.flp and mfsroot.flp), I cannot imagine how it could make a difference installing from a CDROM.
