Hello

I have SATA SIL 3112 controller. Unfortunately it is not working
correctly under FreeBSD. It does not work for me, and i found on
google that it doesn't work correctly for many other people.
I tried Freebsd 4.x, 5.x and 6.1.
Here are the errors which occur when system works:

Sep 12 11:03:35 multix kernel: ad6: WARNING - SETFEATURES SET

Sep 12 11:55:36 multix kernel: ar0: writing of Silicon Image Medley

Do You have similar problems ?


Please try to disable its RAID capabilities, and tweak some
compatibility settings, if any. Sil3112 is known to be crap, but
it's also known to work for many FreeBSD 6.x users.


What SATA controller could you suggest ?
I must be on card (PCI?) so i could plug in to my current server. It
have to work stable under Freebsd 6.1. It should be chip. It doesn't
have to be real hardware RAID (it can use software from BIOS).


Don't use software RAID from BIOS, use gmirror/gstripe/gvinum.

I also have one of these that doesn't work with FreeBSD.  I just replaced 
the controller.  What is worse is there are different versions of this chip 
some that will work with FreeBSD, but many don't.
