Sorry to have to ask this but I'm stuck... I've had FreeBSD 5.4 installed on an IBM xSeries 345 (the same box) many times. I've been experimenting with (a) the stock setup and then (b) adding a ServeRAID card which led to (c) an Adaptec (ASR-2230) RAID card (software management exists that runs under Linux mode). All has been well until stage (c). After setting up logical drive from RAID5 array using either of the two FreeBSD install CDs that I have (normal ISO and network install ISO) lead to: Building the boot loader arguments Looking up /BOOT/LOADER... Found Load Error: 0x12 Could not find Primary Volume Descriptor I have tried removing the Adaptec card and reverting to "stock" mode... same error. I have checked the BIOS on the machine and for the heck of it reset it to the default configuration. I've double checked cabling and am out of things to try. Can someone please shed some light on this one? I've Googled my error message and only come up with things relating to older hardware. Also, I've had FreeBSD installed on this machine fine from the ISOs. I re-downloaded the net install ISO and burnt it, same problem. Thanks in advance - d.
