freebsd raid problem
hi. i have installed freebsd on a partition on my hd. but i have a it8212 chip and 4 devices plugged onto it and cant afford to have the hd with freebsd on ide0 (ide12 are via it8212). i have to unplug all hds before freebsd is able to boot. if i have one hd on an ide with it8212 it has problems finding the kernel. and when i switch the hd back and use grub to point to the kernel the freebsd loader wont recognize the hd and wont boot. i found this link http://www.xl0.org/FreeBSD/13-12-04.html#ite-it8212f-gigabyte-raid-controller-supported is it possible with that to successfully boot freebsd? how to optain that source and use it? wont i have to patch the kernel? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
How to Cure Disk/Controller (RAID) Problem?
Hello, I'm having problems installing RAID-0 on my A7V333 mobo. The FastTrack utility does recognize the two drive (WD1600JB) but it doesn't allow me to go to 1. Auto Setup. I don't know why. Another thing: I cannot find anything in the BIOS regarding putting a array back. Nor can I find in the Advanced PCI Configuration sub-menu the possibilityt to enable the raid arrays. I upgraded my BIOS to the latest possible version (1018). What to do?

I was booting from a sata raid control and compiled a kernel without ata raid support. It would reboot after the modules preloaded and before the boot menu came up. I would recommend making a bootable cd with a custom kernel, or just a new one with the right(or all) drivers for raid. I haven't heard of btx loader before, but google just came back with a load of stuff, including an email on the freebsd lists about a bios update fixing some raid controller that would otherwise prevent you from booting. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
How to Cure Disk/Controller (RAID) Problem?
I have an ASUS A7V333 motherboard with a Promise 20276 onboard chip controlling two IBM 120GXP 40GB hard drives in RAID-0 (striped) configuration. This configuration has operated flawlessly for years. However, in the past two weeks, twice when rebooting after the preliminary stages of a DragonFlyBSD installation (disklabel -B -r -w ar0s3 auto), my RAID array has come up broken. Rather than a two-disk array, it shows in the Promise FastTrack BIOS as two striped arrays consisting of one 40-gig drive each. After putting the array back together using the BIOS (deleting the two single-disk arrays and re-creating the two-disk RAID-0), the first two slices/partitions in the array (Win2K and a static pagefile) look normal, but the third gives nonsensical status information in both Windows and *BSD, e.g., a size of 1600+ GB. Neither Win nor *BSD will format this slice/partition. IBM's Drive Fitness Test (DFT) shows both disks operating normally. When I tried to use DFT to write zeroes to both disks preparatory to reinstalling from backup images, DFT responded that this utility was only available with IBM drives. (??) (This is an older version of DFT. I have downloaded the most recent version, but haven't had time to try it yet.) I'd very much appreciate advice/recommendations regarding where the problem might be and how to cure it.
