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. > Initial install claims that it can't find any > drives ... the controller appears in the supported hardware list, but > various searches on the web have left the impression that it's not > supported in RAID mode. You're looking for the wrong thing there. > Is this still the case in -stable? No; the integreted PERC controllers are supported in -stable now. Try a recent snapshot and you should be fine. Regards, Mike -- ... every activity meets with opposition, everyone who acts has his rivals and unfortunately opponents also. But not because people want to be opponents, rather because the tasks and relationships force people to take different points of view.
