After few minutes I reconnected the card and I booted the machine without any

Did you reset the raid configurations? I've had this problem several times
with machines that have run the cards in Windows prior running FreeBSD.

Pull the battery from the unit and reset the configuration. Reconnect the
battery when the system boots FreeBSD properly.

Hi to all. I've finally convinced my IT manager to replace a MSFT Windows
Server Virtual Server host with
a FreeBSD 7 jail host. Obviously, before proposing this change I checked that
our hardware was supported
by the FreeBSD platform, but as soon as I boot the FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE/amd64
CD-ROM the systems
hangs!
I also tried the i386 version of the same release experiencing the same
trouble. By using a 6.3-RELEASE
CD-ROM all works well (excluding some warnings still showing during the boot).
I compared the source files
of the driver arcmsr(4) without finding any real difference: both of them are
at the 1.20.00.15 revision, but
I'm not a very experienced FreeBSD sysadmin (yet!), and I need at least your
opinions about this trouble!
I think the most complete set of informations I can give you are the verbose
boot logs of both the 6.3 and
7.0 releases (sorry for the log post), but I'm ready to submit whatever data
you want... please help me to
put Windows out of my datacenter! :)
