Short version: We're having problems with a 3ware 8506-4 RAID controller and having rather severe problems. Has anyone tried the FreeBSD 4.8 drivers from 3ware on FreeBSD 5.2? 3ware say on their website that they "may or may not work"... Long version: We're running the controller under FreeBSD 5.2 (Release) on an ASUS P4S8X motherboard. We're having two different problems: 1) When booting BSD hangs when initilizing the 3Ware controller driver. Previously it almost never happend, now it hangs almost every time. These are the last two lines before it freezes: 3ware 7000 series Storage Controller. Driver version 1.50.00.000> port 0x8400-0x840f mem 0xe4000000-0xe47fffff,0xe4800000-0xe480000f irq 10 at device 9.0 on pci0 We have not installed any other drivers than the ones supplied with FreeBSD 5.2. I noticed that it says "7000-series" - Is this really as it should be? 2) At shutdown, the OS complains about not being able to delete the device 0 and then hangs. Sometimes (maybe every second time) it reboots or shutdowns okay. Have you seen any of these errors before? We're just taking this server into production so we are a bit worried that it will fail miserably and die on us... I'd be very grateful for all answers! Kind regards, Mathias Haas
