Olga, I'm afraid you are ALMOST out of luck. The 7520 chipset contains the ICH5R controller. To support RAID1, the ata driver needs the mk3 patches, which are not in 5.4-RELEASE. You can, as you suggest, implement RAID1 in software. There are several postings on this topic. You could also add a RAID controller card. There are many postings on this as well, but if you want an all-Intel configuration, Intel's website lists two compatible Intel RAID boards. -gayn > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org > [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org] On Behalf Of Olga Zenkova > Sent: Friday, July 01, 2005 8:25 PM > To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org > Subject: integrated SATA RAID controller on Intel server > board SE7520bd2 > > > Hi! > I have Intel server board SE7520bd2 with integrated > SATA RAID controller on it and two hard drives that > are already configured as RAID 1 (mirror) via BIOS. > > When I trying to install FreeBSD 5.4 it doesn't see my > RAID 1, but sees two individual disks.
