Thanks for the hope, Jud :-) It's good to hear that at least one system works in that mode I checked again all the stuff but I didn't find anything wrong, so could you pls give me some more details about your hardware/bios configuration, like: - do you have any other HDD's installed - HDD's are connected to Promise ports, or ... - HDD's are master/master or one is master, the other is slave - FBSD is the only OS, or ... - are there any special bios settings ?? - some other stuff I could miss ?? Please fill free to send me a personal mail in case you think that issue could be boring for the list Thanks, Boyan -- Boyan Nedkov bnedkov@home.nl > -----Original Message----- > From: Jud [mailto:jud@myrealbox.com] > Sent: Monday, May 27, 2002 4:03 PM > To: Boyan Nedkov > Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org > Subject: Re: onboard RAID controller (Asus A7V333) > > > On Mon, 27 May 2002 15:07:41 +0200 > "Boyan Nedkov" <bnedkov@home.nl> wrote: > > > > > Hi guys, > > > > I am trying to install FreeBSD 4.5 on a brain new hardware system > > based on Asus A7V333 motherboard (VIA VT8233A chipset, supporting > > UltraDMA 133/100/66/33), configured for using two equal 60GB hard > > disks as a RAID-0 disk storage.
