I'm still having problems getting this Proliant 3000R with the Compaq 2DH controller to work properly - I've seen some historical messages indicating people have gotten 3.3 to work incorporating a non-bundled IDA driver; I've also heard that this driver is now integrated in with FreeBSD in the later versions. I'm still running into the following issues: * Booting/installing FreeBSD <4.0 does not recognize the drive array * FBSD 4.0 does recognize the array but either: a) crashes with a "makedev returns non-zero" during install b) won't reboot - saying kernel not found c) crashes during post-install config with all forks causing core dumps I can pull out the raid array and reconfigure the disks on Compaq's on-board scsi and it installs and runs perfectly, so I know it's an issue with the raid card. I'm trying to install the os straight to the raid5 array - I really do not want to have to dedicate a non-raid drive just to work around a bug in the OS. Does anyone have any ideas?
