Hi! I've got an old Intergraph which has been running as my fileserver för two years, so far with Red Hat Linux 7.3 Due to several problems with it (sleeping zombie processes which were impossible to kill amongst others) I've decided to switch to FreeBSD. Since it's a SMP machine (dual 400Mhz) I thought I'd be running a 5.x release since the SMP support has improved with it. The system features 9 disks altogether. Three of them connected to a LSI 53c8xx SCSI controller (dont actually remember the two last digits, but I beleive it to be of little relevance, I will find out if necessary) and the other six are connected to a Promise SX6000 card. The Promise SX6000 is configured for providing a single large volume (RAID 5). One of the SCSI disks are meant for the "system" and the IDE disks for "storage". My problem is this; when I try to install all I get in fdisk is the pst0 disk (aka Promise card with it's attached disks) the SCSI disks don't even show up. And since they were intended for the system I am stranded. I have never had this kind of a problem so I really have no idea where to start. Help is very much appreciated, and I will try and provide any information left out here. I've tried searching the mailing archives as well as google, but I'm even having trouble formulating my question and I imagine the number of people with my set up is rather small. Please cc directly to my mail < kristian at zarknet dot tk > since I am not subscribed to this list. Regards, Kristian
