Read the list of supported hardware. See: http://www.freebsd.org/releases/index.html select hardware notes' for the release version of the O/S you are using. The '3Ware 8506-4LP is listed there. It requiress the 'twe' disk driver software, which _is_ provided by the standard distribution, *BUT* manual configuration is required. you have to do the indicated 'magic' for the installer before it will see the controller an disks as installation targets. Then you have to do it AGAIN for the installed system, before booting it. The 'twe' manpage describes what is required. You can find it from the hardware notes link mentioned above. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
Freebsd installation problem with 3ware 8506-4LP - storage controller (RAID)
Hello, we tried to instal Freebsd with my 3ware 8506-4LP - storage controller (RAID) and it seems freebsd does not support my raid card could you please tell me how to fox this problem? Here below ismy data center message I got after they tried to instal freebsd on my server, regards, Miss Riverso Unfortunately it appears that FreeBSD is unable to see your raid card or the drives attached to it. I am able to setup the raid 10 array but once the FreeBSD installer starts, the drives are not visible. I have looked for any drivers that may be available for FreeBSD and I am unable to locate them. At this point we can either reinstall the machine with a different OS or provide you with a kvm ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

I don't understand what you mean on the way out but I don't think the problem is lack of memory because I have 384MB in my machine. But could my slicing have something to do with this thing.

Re: FreeBSD installation problem
I've tried to install FreeBSD 4.8 Stable on my computer about 5 times but every damn time I get an error when the installation reaches the dependence install. I get an error messages saying something ... error code -1 Please check the debug screen for more info. When I press ALT+F2 I see a screen saying something like gzip ... crc error. I've seen similar problems when memory was on the way out... Or maybe a broken memory chip? The XFree packages tend to be large enough to occupy large portions of the memory and the package gets corrupted when the installer tries to read it back from the memory. Try running memtest86.
