Sil680 RAID Support while installing 5.1-Release

2003-09-27 Thread Travis Troyer
I just purchased a Sil680 IDE RAID controller, and have setup
a striped RAID array.  When I boot from the 5.1 installation
CD-ROM, FreeBSD does not recognize them as one disk.  I
checked the hardware notes, and Sil680 UDMA6 is listed. 
Seeing Sil680 listed, I assumed that the RAID capabilities
would also be supported.  I read something posted awhile back
referring to the Sil680 controller, saying it was supported,
but dangerous unless using 5.1-Current.  Does anybody know
anything about the current status of this?  Is there anyway to
get the FreeBSD installation to recognize my RAID array, or
should I just buy another controller?

Thanks,

Travis Troyer

I was wondering about the online Sil 3112 SATA RAID controller on my
Gigabyte 7VAXP board. The 5.1 RELEASE boot CD crashes saying it
couldn't write to root (which is weird, considering it usually should
be able to write to memfs??).
