Re: FreeBSD 4.10 not finding 3ware controllers
at which point does it fail...does it not boot, or do you get to sysinstall? if you get to sysinstall then you can goto another VT and run a dmesg from there i believe. i guess it's a moot point as you've moved to 5.2.1...if you are happy with the 5.x branch maybe you should test out the 5.3RC's -p On Fri, 22 Oct 2004 09:46:37 -0700, Benson Wong <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Um, I can't do a dmesg since I can't installed FBSD. > The chipset is Intel E7520 > > The BIOS does detect the cards.

Re: FreeBSD 4.10 not finding 3ware controllers
Um, I can't do a dmesg since I can't installed FBSD. The chipset is Intel E7520 The BIOS does detect the cards. When booting the cards will show what drives are attached and how they're connected to the RAID array. They also give you the option of using Alt+3 to enter the configuration mode. During boot I don't actually see the TWE drivers being loaded. I tried using FreeBSD/amd64 5.2.1 since it supports the EM64T stuff provided but it basically crashed during installation. I'm going to try 5.2.1/i386 now. Thanks. Ben.

FreeBSD 4.10 not finding 3ware controllers
Hi, I just got a new server with a SuperMicro X6DH8-G motherboard. it's basically a dual xeon board with 2 3Ware controllers in it. The Controllers: 8006-2LP 8506-4LP A couple of days ago I installed 4.10 on old Dell 300S PowerEdge server, with the same 3ware controllers and the installation went flawlessly. However on this machine FreeBSD doesn't can't seem to autodetect the controllers. I'm thinking that 4.10 doesn't have support for the motherboards, but I'm not entirely sure. Has anybody else experienced the same thing, or have any insight into this? Does this require some kernel tweaks of the installation CD? Thanks.
