I'm having trouble with HighPoint RocketRAID 3120 on FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE. I have 2 disks on it in a mirror configuration. Everything seems to go swimmingly through the FreeBSD installation, up until the final reboot...
1) Boot from Disc 1. 2) At the "Welcome to FreeBSD" screen, choose option "6" ok load hptiop ok boot 3) It recognizes my mirror as device "da0" and I proceed with the installation. 4) I install all distros, except X.org & Ports. 5) At the tail end, before rebooting, I enter a shell and vi /boot/loader.conf. I add the line: hptiop_load="YES" 6) REBOOT. The following happens... a) RocketRAID card beeps b) I see the BIOS splash screen c) I see RocketRAID splash screen d) It resets and repeats everything above. I never even get a boot loader menu to try troubleshooting. What did I miss? Why can't this thing boot? Unfortunately, HighPoint's User Manual was last updated in 2007, when FreeBSD 6.1 was the latest. Since then, the hptiop driver was added to 7.x, and that's what I'm trying to use. To be clear, the problem isn't that I can get FreeBSD to mount and recognize it, I can. The problem is being able to boot from it. ---------- I have followed what little there is at... http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=hptiop&sektion=4&manpath=FreeBSD+7.1-RELEASE http://tinyurl.com/8fat37 All 3 device statements are in the /usr/src/sys/amd64/conf/GENERIC file, by default. I put the hptiop_load="YES" statement into the /boot/loader.conf file. Their user manual is at... http://www.highpoint-tech.com/PDF/RR3120/RR3120_UM_EN_10_111307_AP.pdf http://tinyurl.com/9cwwwj But, it only has instructions up to FreeBSD 6.1, and they don't seem to apply any more to the 7.x version, which has the hptiop(4) driver in the GENERIC kernel. In other words, their instructions for a driver diskette are meaningless. I was led to believe that these cards were compatible with all modern versions of FreeBSD, especially since it's on the hardware compatibility list... http://www.freebsd.org/releases/7.1R/hardware.html http://tinyurl.com/8b9ovl ---------- My /boot/loader.conf file is... hptiop_load="YES" Here's my dmesg, but note the following: -I had to boot from the Live FS CD. -Before booting, I chose option "6" for the ok prompt. -I entered: load hptiop -Upon bootup, I chose the Live FS shell. -Note wayyyy down at the bottom, the 5th & 6th lines from the bottom, the da0 device. Sure, it works great booting from the CD, but how about booting from itself ?! Now, onto the dmesg... Copyright (c) 1992-2009 The FreeBSD Project.
