The following reply was made to PR alpha/61940; it has been noted by GNATS. From: "Matthew X. Economou" <xenophon@irtnog.org> To: <obrien@FreeBSD.org>, <phk@freebsd.org> Cc: <freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org> Subject: RE: alpha/61940: Can't disklabel new disk from FreeBSD/alpha 5.2-RELEASE sysinstall Date: Wed, 4 Feb 2004 10:48:43 -0500 I have more information regarding this problem report. I tried installing 5.2-RELEASE on a AlphaServer 2000 5/250 with a Mylex DAC960 (KZPSC) RAID-5 array. The array had been freshly initialized. FreeBSD successfully detected the array, but when I tried to label the volume, the volume was not even listed on the disk label screen. Obviously, the volume was devoid of any previous operating system install. And again, I was able to work around this problem by putting the initial label on the volume with FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE.=20 Is there anything I can do that would help you debug this problem? Now that I have a second machine, I can do whatever testing on it to help you discover the cause of this problem. Best wishes, Matthew --=20 Matthew X.
