I don't have any way to help hunt this bug. ips(4) is in need of a maintainer. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Sun, 13 Jul 2003 14:49:37 +0200 From: Francis GUDIN To: jackp@flag.60north.net Cc: scottl@freebsd.org, nate@root.org Hello, i just thought about searching the open PRs for a possible help in my issue using "ips" and saw yours. Don't know if this will give clues to someone, but if that can be helpful, here's what i experienced with Serveraid : i tried to install 5.1 using jp snapshots floppies and i've been lucky enough to access sysinstall, though i got a similar warning about "ips0: failed to get configuration from device" at kernel startup. Everything went ok : dedicated a whole RAID1 array ("dangerously"), edited labels on it with the full automated option and could install a minimal distribution set. But upon reboot, mounting the root failed with something like "mount failed: 6" and "can't find rootvp". At that point, i'm left with a prompt giving a chance to point to the right location, but things seem broken since the '?' option to show available devices displays a lot of "dead" strings plus a few valid names. I tried different variations around "*ipsd*" without luck. I can't investigate further for now (my girl friend needs a workable openoffice, so i'm back to gentoo on this machine). I downloaded IBM's latest available support CD (v.6) and will give a try updating the adapter's firmware to the latest ; i guess i could at least get rid of the warning about the unretrievable config. Oh ! i forgot to tell you the hardware i'm willing to use : an old PCServer 330 and that ServeRaid card (don't know which series, but i guess it's a 3sthg). Please let me know if i can help testing... Regards, Francis.
