Do you see them (other PCI controllers) if the 3ware controller is not plugged in? Does the motherboard BIOS detect the 3ware controller? i.e., do you see messages from the 3ware BIOS at startup? For how much time did you wait at the 'Kernel Configuration Menu'? You might want to try waiting longer... One other thing I have observed is that, if there are any degraded units attached to 3ware, the 3ware BIOS waits for 30 seconds rather than the usual 5 seconds, and when this happens, _all_ PCI controllers are seen! > -----Original Message----- > From: Jeff Soule [mailto:jsoule@webcrossing.com] > Sent: Friday, February 11, 2005 12:47 PM > To: Vinod Kashyap > Cc: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org > Subject: Re: Problems with 4.10 Release and "supported" hardware > = > = > That used to work, but not anymore.
