>Organization:
Home
>Environment:
System: FreeBSD quasar 5.0-RELEASE GENERIC-kernel
EPoX EP-4GEA+ board with IntelCeleron 2.0GHz using i845GE chipset and
AwardBIOS v6.00PG (12/04/2002 for Intel 845GE chipset) with
HighPoint HPT372 UDMA/ATA133 on-board RAID-controller (BIOS v2.32) and
2 IBM DTLA-307075 HDDs as RAID-1 attached to it.

>Description:
FreeBSD's ATA-driver recogizes the RAID-controller and can start installation.
Controlling the RAID with atacontrol (in the emergency shell) works.
On unpacking the distributions the system hangs (not always at the same point).
### This is also valid for 4.7-RELEASE. ###

>How-To-Repeat:
Install 4.7-RELEASE or 5.0-RELEASE on platform with EP-4GEA+ mainboard and
a RAID attached to the HighPoint controller and produce heavy disk I/O.

>Fix:
HighPoint (www.highpoint-tech.com) provides kernel modules for
FreeBSD 4.{1,3,4,5,6.2,7}-RELEASE for controller BIOS v2.34, which
works fine (even with BIOS v2.32). RAID is attached as SCSI device da:
pci1: <PCI bus> on pcib1
hpt37x20: <HPT372 UDMA/ATA133 RAID Controller> port 0xa000-0xa0ff,0x9c00-0x9c03,0x9800-0x9807,0x9400-0x9403,0x9000-0x9007 irq 11 at device 0.0 on pci1
 [...]
Device Driver for HPT37x2 ATA RAID Controller Version 1.31
 [...]
Waiting 5 seconds for SCSI devices to settle
da0 at hpt37x20 bus 0 target 0 lun 0
da0: <HPT Inc. HPT37x2   RAID 1 1.05> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-2 device 
da0: 73308MB (150136560 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 9345C)

Though, for 5.0-RELEASE no workaround known.
