I unfortunately don't have a full dmesg output to send everyone, but I'm hoping I can provide enough to figure out what is wrong. Today I was trying to install 4.3 from my official CDs, but got stopped once I found that the kernel could not see the drives attached to my ARC-1200. According to the card's BIOS, I have one fully initialized RAID 1 array between two drives -- the kernel boot prompt even lists 'hd0+*'. However, once the kernel (bsd.rd on amd64) boots, it sees the card, but never the drives. So, I get a line like this:
arc0 at pci11 dev 14 function 0 "*Areca* ARC-1200" rev B: apic 8 int 0 (irq 10) but I don't get anything more, like: arc0: 2 ports, 128MB SDRAM, firmware V1.44 2008-3-20 or _most_ importantly: sd0 at scsibus1 targ 0 lun 0: <*Areca*, ARC-1200-VOL#00, R001> SCSI3 0/direct fixed sd0: 476837MB, 56514 cyl, 36 head, 480 sec, 512 bytes/sec, 976562176 sec total any thoughts? Is the RAMDISK_CD on 4.3 that much different from GENERIC? I looked in CVS and saw that both 'arc* at pci?' and 'scsibus* at arc?'. What am I missing? thanks. ryanc -- Ryan Corder [EMAIL PROTECTED]
