It was based on a VIA EPIA motherboard. Ended up going with softraid (gmirror).. it worked well enough but be warned that after an extended uptime that a gmirror sync + fsck will cause a seek storm that will take ages to finish. Using ZFS for my current setup with duplication. 2011/1/16 Cameron Tune : > Last month I purchased a Highpoint 2320 raid card, http://www.newegg.com/= Product/Product.aspx?Item=3DN82E16816115026 , for my FreeBSD server. =A0I'm= new to the FreeBSD world - so please bear with me as I try to solve the fo= llowing issue. > > With the card installed - the server hangs during the boot process. =A0I = don't even get to the standard FreeBSD boot menus (loader prompt, single-us= er mode, etc.), rather the freeze occurs after a "console" message and then= a listing of physical disks. =A0A picture of where the hang occurs is at h= ttp://www.camerontune.com/images/photo.jpg . > > As far as I can tell this card is supported on FreeBSD (running 8.1 STABL= E i386). =A0I've updated the motherboard bios, and have also monkeyed aroun= d with just about every possible setting in the card's bios. =A0Motherboard= is a Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3P. > > I've combed through every possible log I can find in /var/logs - but I'm = not finding anything that starts this early in the boot process. =A0I've al= so ensured that all drivers are present and loaded in loader.conf - however= I don't think I'm even getting to the point of drivers being loaded. > > Any thoughts are appreciated - and please let me know if there's any addi= tional information I can provide that may help diagnose the problem._______= ________________________________________ > freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hardware > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-hardware-unsubscribe@freebsd.or= g" >
