My card has no battery backup, but I disconnected the machine power cord and pulled the card off itsPCI-X slot. After few minutes I reconnected the card and I booted the machine without any hard drive. Then the same issue arised with the 7.0-RELEASE.

Thanks for the suggestion, Mike.

As mentioned by another poster, try the RELENG_7 snapshot to see if it boots with that. If you are starting fresh, I would suggest it as there are a number of bug fixes and enhancements in the snapshot and its quite stable. Hi Mike... you've read in my mind: I tried to boot up 7.0R without the card immediately after I sent my last e-mail! :) I can confirm that all works like a charm without the Areca card. So, where the problem might lie?! I tested the card with both 7.0-STABLE and 8.0-CURRENT (it hangs even before) without success... :( P.S.: during all these tests I was always verifying that the card itself was always functioning well, by booting the Windows Server 2003 x64 installed on the RAID set.
