Subject:   A8N-SLI Premium + Si 3114R + RAID5 of Hitachi Deskstar T7K250 -- locks up during install

I have tried this with 6-BETA1 and 6-BETA3.

I noticed the A8N-SLI Deluxe was supported, so thought that the majority of=
=20
the Premium would be as well.

I am using the Silicon Image RAID controller instead of the NVidia one,=20
because it supports RAID5 and the nVidia does not.
The RAID5 was configured in the BIOS.

During boot (bootonly.iso) it goes through autodetection, seems to see=20
everything OK except that it detects the Si 3114R as "SATA 150" and it=20
should be "SATA 300" because it is SATAII not SATAI.

It then gets to the following and locks up:

ad12: 238475MB <HDT722525DLA380 V440A80A> at ata6-master SATA150
ad14: 238475MB <HDT722525DLA380 V440A80A> at ata7-master SATA150
ad16: 238475MB <HDT722525DLA380 V440A80A> at ata8-master SATA150
ad18: 238475MB <HDT722525DLA380 V440A80A> at ata9-master SATA150

So, it appears that it finds each drive, instead of the RAID.
It appears that it detects the controller as SATA 1 instead of SATA 2.
It locks up as soon as it detects the hard drives.


Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Malachi
