Hi I later found out that it was an Intel e7520 Chipset and i have seen on freebsd.org that two testers have tried that card with both 5.4-STABLE and -RELEASE. I e-mailed them and they only tried the SCSI RAID, not the SATA. Since we decided the customer did afford SCSI i think i'm fine but SATA RAID needs a lot of work in FreeBSD. It seems as if everyone is afraid of it and i am to. Thank you for your help. Med vänliga hälsningar Stefan Midjich aka nocturnal [Swehack] http://swehack.se J.
