I've got a Compaq Proliant 3000R server, with Compaq's 2-channel RAID controller installed. I've been trying to get ANY version of FreeBSD to run on this system. I'm not sure where the problem is. I was able to install 4.0 from the CD on the system when it was not running RAID. I installed the RAID card and re-configured the drives and 3.3 would not recognize the drive; 4.0 did recognize the drive and would let me do the install but would crash on "makedev returns a non-zero value". I was able to create a boot floppy for the machine and try to install 4.0-RELEASE from ftp.freebsd.org and this seemed to get me farther, except after the initial downloading of files, just about anything forked would cause a core dump (sh was causing core dumps) so I couldn't do anything, and then upon re-booting the system, it could not find or boot the kernel. I'm not sure what the problem is. Is it that FreeBSD does NOT support Compaq's RAID scsi card? Any ideas. Thanks for your prompt response - I've installed the OS about 20 times in the last day and really want to get it to work with my raid5 configuration from compaq.
