Hello, Thank you for your answer.
I use a ECS KN3-SLI2 motherboard with AMD 64-X2 4200 Jmicron JMB363 and AMD nForce 590sli fakeraid controllers. I've build 2 RAID arrays : . 1 RAID 1 for system on Jmicron chip, with 2 maxtor/seagate 80 GB disks . 1 RAID 5 for data on nForce chip, with 3 maxtor/seagate 250 GB disks (~450 GB data) I tried Vista before, just to see compatibility, all was OK. I installed linux debian etch ok, but impossible to install a boot loader. I installed FreeeBSD 6.2-RELEASE : The install process detects all disks even nForce's ones, but it detects only Jmicron RAID array as 'ar0'. I suppose that nForce's one would take the device 'ar1'. (That makes me think that perhaps kernel does recognize only one array at a time, but I cannot believe that, it's of no sense). I installed FreeBSD on RAID 1 array, it worked perfectly. So I thought I could compile the kernel to take account of RAID 5 array (the same process for installing linux), but I didn't see in kernel config a driver for nForce 590sli and I saw in a faq (perhaps obsolet) that only up to nForce 4 is supported. I'm a bit out of new solutions. If you have any idea ...
