Hi,

When using software based RAID controllers (e.g. ICH9R) in RAID-1 =
scenario, if any of the drives fail and the server reboot, the system =
will not come back up.

This has been observed on FreeBSD 6.3-RELEASE i386 with following error:

  Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode
  fault virtual address   =3D 0xf4d988d8
  fault code              =3D supervisor read, page not present
  instruction pointer     =3D 0x20:0xc0847e06
  stack pointer           =3D 0x28:0xc0c20bfc
  frame pointer           =3D 0x28:0xc0c20c40
  code segment            =3D base 0x0, limit 0xfffff, type 0x1b
                          =3D DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gran 1
  processor eflags        =3D interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL =3D 0
  current process         =3D 0 (swapper)
  trap number             =3D 12
  panic: page fault

I wasn't able to get the machine up into any mode except to the basic =
prompt.

This problem can also be duplicated if you move the drive from ICH9R =
RAID to non-RAID controller

Any tips on how to get the FBSD system operational again without having =
to do a reinstall?

Thanks,
