I am trying to install FreeBSD 4.5-RELEASE on a Compaq Proliant ML370 with a SmartArray 5i RAID controller. First I tried to boot from the CD, but the generic kernel on CD doesn't include the `ciss' driver, so the installer couldn't find any disks. So I made a custom kern.flp, and now the kernel finds my da0 array, but hangs shortly afterwards after printing these errors: fdc0: cmd 3 failed at out byte 1 of 3 fdc0: direction bit not set fdc0: cmd 13 failed at out byte 1 of 4 fdc0: Re-enable FIFO failed fdc0: direction bit not set fdc0: cmd 8 failed at out byte 1 of 1 fdc0: sense intr err reading stat reg 0 fdc0: direction bit not set fdc0: cmd 8 failed at out byte 1 of 1 fdc0: sense intr err reading stat reg 0 fdc0: direction bit not set fdc0: cmd 8 failed at out byte 1 of 1 fdc0: sense intr err reading stat reg 0 fdc0: direction bit not set fdc0: cmd 8 failed at out byte 1 of 1 fdc0: sense intr err reading stat reg 0 fdc0: direction bit not set fdc0: cmd 7 failed at out byte 1 of 2 fdc0: direction bit not set fdc0: cmd 3 failed at out byte 1 of 3 fdc0: direction bit not set fdc0: cmd 13 failed at out byte 1 of 4 fdc0: too many errors, not logging any more <DEAD> So here is the problem: when I boot from the CD-ROM drive, my floppy is fine, but no RAID. When I boot a custom ciss kernel from the floppy, the RAID array is found but the floppy gets its knickers in a twist. Any suggestions?
