You should check =20= wether your Smart Array is properly supported, first, a good place to =20= start: http://people.freebsd.org/~msmith/RAID/. Then maybe try to disable APIC at boot (??), as this is known to cause =20= problems. But first, go to the BIOS on the server and make sure it is =20= preset either for Linux OS or for "Other". Then maybe make sure your =20 raid volume(s) is configured with Compaq tools before attempting to =20 install FreeBSD. hope this helps Raphael Le Jeudi, 7 ao=FB 2003, =E0 20:16 Europe/Zurich, Warner Joseph a =E9crit = : > > Hi, > > I'm trying to install FreeBSD 5.1 -RELEASE on our > Compaq Proliant 2500 server with (4) 9.1G hard drives > using Raid5 and the install hangs at: > > /stand/sysinstall running as init on vty0 > > Is this because of: > > "The RAIDframe disk driver described in raid(4) is non-functional for =20= > this > release." > > ..from the errata? > > I tried to search the archives but got an error saying they > aren't available right now. > > Thanks > > Joe > > = -----------------------------------------------------------------------=20= > -------- > This message and any included attachments are from Siemens Medical =20 > Solutions > USA, Inc. and are intended only for the addressee(s). > The information contained herein may include trade secrets or =20 > privileged or > otherwise confidential information.
