So I try here. I'm having trouble getting my on-board Promise controller to work. I can use atacontrol to build an array, but sysinstall won't detect the disk pack. Could this be a problem with the fact that I use 2x80GB (Western Digital) disk? Are they perhaps too large for the controller to understand?

It just gives me ad0 and ad2. Building the disk array from the (rather useless) BIOS utility does not help. This is where I get lost. Anything I have missed? The mainboard is an MSI K7T266 Pro2.
