The following reply was made to PR www/107834; it has been noted by GNATS. From: "Gary Bickford" <gbickford@ivesinc.com> To: <bug-followup@FreeBSD.org>, <nicole@unixgirl.com> Cc: Subject: Re: www/107834: Tyan Board Addition - H2000M S3992G3NR Date: Wed, 21 Mar 2007 09:34:29 -0400 We have had no success getting this board running with RAID. The board has an onboard ServerWorks RAID controller and four SATA connections, and we also tried many approaches to get a 3Ware 8-way RAID card to work under both FreeBSD 6.2 and Fedora Core 6. The apparent problem is that while the BIOS and the early part of the boot recognize the respective hardware, and both BIOS and OS drivers are installed, the controllers become invisible so that no controllers are apparently visible to the OS. However, if the RAID function is turned off in the BIOS, the drives are visible as four individual disks and the system can be installed without problems. I'm not a complete newbie though I know Fedora better, but this one has stumped everyone involved. My hunch is that there is an interrupt conflict or some other simple issue, but I don't have the time to debug this - we just need a big database server with an 8-drive RAID 10, running yesterday. ----- Gary Bickford Sr. Technical Analyst Ives Group http://www.ivesinc.com/
