Re: SiL3112 SATA (RAID) Controller drives aren't working at all.
My troublesome system uses an Adaptec Serial ATA RAID 1210SA which has the SiI3112 RAID chip. I have only one drive connected, so no RAID functionality.

Hi Derek Ragona, you wrote. DR My troublesome system uses an Adaptec Serial ATA RAID 1210SA which has the DR SiI3112 RAID chip. I have only one drive connected, so no RAID functionality. DR Here is my verbose dmesg using the 9/28/03 snapshot: DR http://www.computinginnovations.com/dmesg.html My 28.8.03 JPSNAP (i.e. current.freebsd.org) box with two Maxtor 120 GB SATA drives connected to the Sil3112 chip will probe both disks ok, comes up normally but shortly thereafter goes under in a bunch of UDMA timeouts. I can provide dmesg later today if that is of any worth.

SiL3112 SATA (RAID) Controller drives aren't working at all.
The drivers in 28.9.JPSNAP of current will allow you to install FreeBSD on a SATA disk connected to a Silicon Image 3112 SATA RAID controller but not much more. Shortly after booting, the system will start getting UDMA timeouts and basically just freezes. Furthermore, the disks connected to the controller will ALWAYS show up as individual disks in the setup, no matter if they are alone, in a stripe set or a real RAID 1 array. Seeing that this probably belongs in Soren's domain, is there any possibility to add some function to atacontrol to allow rebuilding without having hotswap on HPT/Promise chipsets? (I know the Windows drivers of both can do so, so imagine the feature has to be somewhere). ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
