Many Adaptec cards give different PCI identifiers in RAID mode vs standard mode. Also, generic Adaptec cards tend to give different PCI identifiers than their OEM counterparts. If you could install onto a plain-jane 9GB drive (hooked up to a 2940 or something other than the 7899 controller), then the device probe upon startup would tell us how FreeBSD is detecting your 7899 card in RAID mode. -- Matt Emmerton To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
