Stone" <jackstone@sage-one.net> To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Date: Tue, 28 May 2002 13:53:44 -0500 Subject: RAID Driver for Promise Fastrak 100 I'm running 4.5-RELEASE and trying to sort out the support for the Onboard Promise Fastrak 100 RAID controller. In the kernel, I don't see a matching driver, but in HARDWARE.TXT, it says this controller is supported. Can I safely assume one of the GENERIC-listed drivers will support it? Thanks for advice from anyone who has tried this... with success of course.... .... our website: http://www.sage-one.net/ Best regards, Jack L. Stone Server Admin _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Yes, you assume correctly. :) Before the ASUS A7V333 that I'm using now, which has a Fasttrak 133 onboard RAID chip (PDC20276), I ran 4-STABLE on an ASUS A7V-266-E with the Fasttrak 100 onboard chip (PDC20265). It worked fine from my regular floppy-and-CD install. Just be sure you have the BIOS set up properly (jumper set to RAID, RAID BIOS set up with functioning array, system set with RAID array as a boot choice if that's what you want). With no particular special settings during install, FreeBSD recognized my RAID-0 array as ar0, with ad2 and ad4 as the two subdisks.
