Yes, it is supported, however the RAID portion is not. I'm still waiting on Soren and crew to get metadata support for the RAID portion of the ICH5-R -- this RAID controller is purely software-based, it is not a hardware RAID solution. In English: the controller will work fine as a standalone SATA controller, with the RAID option disabled. We have a couple SuperMicro 5013C-T servers which do this. You can use FreeBSD software RAID (ataraid, ccd, or vinum) to accomplish goals instead. If Soren needs hardware to play with, I can gladly send him a P4-based motherboard. RAM and CPU will be his own problem though... :) -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977. | On Wed, Sep 22, 2004 at 03:33:31PM +1200, Marcos Biscaysaqu - ThePacific.net wrote: > Hi There and Scott. > Im sorry I put the wrong name, my HD is intel: Adaptec* ICH5R-S > Serial ATA RAID > <http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scripts-df/Detail_Desc.asp?agr=N&ProductID=1644&DwnldID=7701> > someone knows if this kind of system under Freebsd?? > > thanks > Marcos > > > > Scott Long wrote: > > >On Wed, 22 Sep 2004, Marcos Biscaysaqu - ThePacific.net wrote: > > > > > >>**Hi there. > >>Im trying to install freebsd 5.2.1 in a Intel machine with 2 Adaptec* > >>AIC7901 U320 HostRAID > >><http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scripts-df/Detail_Desc.asp?agr=N&ProductID=1644&DwnldID=7706> > >>200 Gb. running as a mirror with floppies but the system Can't find the > >>Hard Disk as sonner I start with the install > >> > >>Is another way to install Freebsd in this kind of HD?
