I don't have a 5.xx here to look at right now, but in 4.9, the latest I have, I don't find an IPS driver listed in lint. Do you have that right? If that driver id is correct, it must be new in 5.xx. Then you need to read up on making a custom kernel and then add the ips driver to the config file and make and install a new kernel. When you do that, work with a copy of the /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC file rather than modifying it directly. Refer to the .../LINT file for syntax on all the drivers. You might not be able to do that starting on the raid. You may need another non-raid disk (SCSI preferably, it you have a SCSI controller) to get started. If the necessary driver is not in the 5.2 .../LINT file, then you may have to help make a driver or get someone else interested. Note, that I don't think all of the driver ids are one for one identical from Linux to FreeBSD. So, if it is ips in Redhat, it might supposed to be something else in FreeBSD. That is a little beyond my experience. By the way, where is the .ch (from your Email address) from? I have seen it several times lately. ////jerry > > Have anyone a idee how i can install Freebsd? > (at the moment only RedHut <9 it's working with this server, and i want not > use linux) > > Very thanx, Michel > > PS: Sorry for my english...:) >
