Hello,

Thank you for your answer.

I use a ECS KN3-SLI2 motherboard with AMD 64-X2 4200 Jmicron JMB363 and AMD=
 nForce 590sli fakeraid controllers.
I've build 2 RAID arrays :
. 1 RAID 1 for system on Jmicron chip, with 2 maxtor/seagate 80 GB disks=0D
. 1 RAID 5 for data on nForce chip, with 3 maxtor/seagate 250 GB disks=
 (~450 GB data)
I tried Vista before, just to see compatibility, all was OK.
I installed linux debian etch ok, but impossible to install a boot loader.
I installed FreeeBSD 6.2-RELEASE :
The install process detects all disks even nForce's ones, but it detects=
 only Jmicron RAID array as 'ar0'. I suppose that nForce's one would take=
 the device 'ar1'.
(That makes me think that perhaps kernel does recognize only one array at a=
 time, but I cannot believe that, it's of no sense).
I installed FreeBSD on RAID 1 array, it worked perfectly. So I thought I=
 could compile the kernel to take account of RAID 5 array (the same process=
 for installing linux), but I didn't see in kernel config a driver for=
 nForce 590sli and I saw in a faq (perhaps obsolet) that only up to nForce=
 4 is supported.
I'm a bit out of new solutions.

If you have any idea ...

That is puzzling - I running using on a Nvidia Nforce 590 SLI based machine=
 with no problems using Raid - Mind you this Dell implementation uses only=
 Raid0 - What release are you running? - I have had success With both 6.2,=
 7.0-Current and AMD-6.2 and AMD-7.0 - On the 64bit there was issues with=
 the USB - which has been and there was some issues with SATA CD drives all=
 of which is fixed
