It seems there where patches to the ida driver to recognize controllers that probe as DEC/Compaq .... There was a fix for it sometime AFTER 4.1 release. I didn't try your method, but instead built floppies and did an ftp install from the 7/31/2000 stable snapshot. That worked just fine. Btw -- thanks to all the folks that responded to my query on this problem last week :) Bill Barak Enat Sent by: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG 08/03/2000 01:59 PM To: freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG cc: Subject: sysinstall and compaq smart raid disks (idad) hi, don't know if this is helpfull, but i had to add the following two lines to /usr/src/release/sysinstall/devices.c and recompile sysinstall, so it will recognize the idad disks for fdisk/disklabel operations. { DEVICE_TYPE_DISK, "idad%d", "Compaq SMART RAID adapter", 29, 65538, 8, 16, 'b' }, { DEVICE_TYPE_DISK, "ridad%d", "Compaq SMART RAID adapter", 109, 65538, 8, 16, 'c' }, seems odd, as at some point i think i read that 4.1 installation supports the smart raid devices out of the box (i.e. both in kernel and sysinstall)... barak __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
