Apologies for replying to my own thread. The tx2000 seems to work fine if I just use it as an IDE adapter, but as soon as I stripe or span the drives attached to it and reboot I get the crashing behavior described below. If anybody has tips for getting this working I'd really appreciate it. I've already made sure the RAID controller bios (and motherboard bios) is up to date. As a fallback I am wondering if built-in RAID on my motherboard (ABIT AV8 3rd Eye) is supported? It is SATA and I don't have any SATA drives to try it with, but I could probably dig up some adapters if it would get this working. Also, for what it is worth, this same controller and drives worked great on a different 32 bit FreeBSD system for the last year. -Mike On Dec 27, 2004, at 9:57 PM, mcomb@softcoin.com wrote: > Hi, I just setup a shiny new AMD64 box and I'm trying to get FreeBSD > 5.3 release installed on it.
