I was mostly talking about the raid controller, the Intel ICH7 is mentioned on the hardware list: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=ata&sektion=4&manpath=FreeBSD+6.2-RELEASE But they only mention ICH7 which is without raid. Does this mean the raid functionality isn't supported, or the complete ICH7 is supported(ICH7, ICH7R, enz)?
