-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1Hello all! I am in the early stages of building a new machine to act as a file/web server newsgroup leacher etc. I know I want to add a raid card and was looking @ the PROMISE SATAII150 TX4 PCI SATA Controller Card. I am running 4.10 currently with a TX2 card but looking in the hardware notes I see only one promise card even listed for 5.4? Has all support been dropped from FreeBSD for promise cards? Also looking at an ASUS P4P800S-X anyone know if the sound(ADI AD1888 SoundMAX) and NIC(Realtek RTL8101L) work in 5.4? I may consider 6.x-Beta if I can get the on board stuff working. If none of the above are do-able I am open to suggestions as far as RAID & NIC cards go. I would like to do RAID0+1, and if I have to buy a separate NIC I would like it to be a Gigabit card.
The Promise cards are all listed using their chip numbers (like PDC20271 say, for a TX2000) in the newer man page for ata(4). This makes identification a little more complex - since without a card to look at it can be hard to find out the chip number! A read of src/sys/dev/ata/ata_chipset.c *may* be helpful.
I think the card you are after uses a PDC20622 chip, and is mentioned in 5.4-RELEASE ata_chipset.c, but not ata(4) man page - ran into this myself concerning a SX4060.
