I just tried installing 4.2-BETA (5/11/2000) and it exhibited the same problem (ar0 was detected by the kernel but wouldn't show up in sysinstall). Trying -CURRENT for the same date, it shows in sysinstall, but fails to create the devices for the partitions, so installation is impossible. As a stopgap, I ended up installing onto another hard drive, partitioning and labelling ar0, copying everything from the original drive to the raid array, the removing the original drive. This seems to work, but is a total pain. I hope sysinstall gets fixed before 4.2 is released. -- Alastair D'Silva Networking Consultant New Millennium Networking ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Faulhaber" <jedgar@fxp.org> To: "Ivan Debnár" <debnar@o-c.sk> Cc: <freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Friday, November 03, 2000 12:52 AM Subject: Re: ATA RAID HPT370 - problem installing <snip> > > > > The drive is correctly found, but the sysinstall doesn't pick it up and > > doesn't offer me to partition the drive, it only suggests ad4 and ad6 > > as available drives. > > > > Has anyone else exhibit this problem?
