Hi folks, This is a strange problem. I own a AMD Athlon 64 bit on a Asus K8V SE Deluxe motherboard. This motherboard has an onboard VIA SATA RAID controller. Two SATA hard drives (120G each) are connected in RAID-0. The already has an installation of Windows XP (32 bit edition) and the RAID works properly. It shows a net hard disk space of ~240G as expected.
I tried to install FreeBSD adm64 (5.3-R) from the CD. But I am really surprised to see the installation utility detect the two hard disks separately. The strangest part is, the first hard disk shows the windows partitions, however the second hard disk shows empty. To cross check I disconnected the second Hard disk from the controller and windows refused to boot as expected. Could anyone guide me about what is happening out there and how I can make the RAID controller work under FreeBSD amd64? Regards S.
