There is no "7899 controller in RAID 5 mode". The 7899 is a SCSI
controller chip.
What you're probably trying to do is use the built-in PERC controller,
which is not supported under 4.2-RELEASE.

You're looking for the wrong thing there.

No; the integreted PERC controllers are supported in -stable now. Try a
recent snapshot and you should be fine.

Mike
