Gabriel, I experienced the same problem using 5.1 release with an Adaptec SATA Raid card that uses the SATA Sil3112A chip. With 5.1-CURRENT I can get FreeBSD to install, but the server locks-up because the disk subsystem gets a DMA write error that it either never recovers from or falls into the debugger (most times it does NOT go to the debugger.) There are a few of us using SATA Sil3112A chips and experiencing these problems. -Derek At 06:13 PM 9/27/2003 +0200, Gabriel Ambuehl wrote: >Hi Travis Troyer, >you wrote. > >TT> I just purchased a Sil680 IDE RAID controller, and have setup >TT> a striped RAID array.
