RAIDFrame is software raid so it doesn't matter here. You should check wether your Smart Array is properly supported, first, a good place to start: http://people.freebsd.org/~msmith/RAID/.
It looks like it is. Mine is a Compaq Smart-2SL Array Controller
Then maybe try to disable APIC at boot (??), as this is known to cause problems.
I don't have that option, the option menu has an option to "Enable"
APIC support not disable it. I'm using the 5.1 -RELEASE mini-install CD.
But first, go to the BIOS on the server and make sure it is preset either for Linux OS or for "Other".
Right, I used the Compaq Setup CD, blew away my old FreeBSD 4.6
configuration,
set up a new one including a new array (I added an extra drive), chose
"Other OS" during the manual install and rebooted to install the new OS.
Then maybe make sure your raid volume(s) is configured with Compaq tools before attempting to install FreeBSD.
FWIW - I had it running on 4.6 -STABLE just fine before this.
hope this helps

Hi,
I'm trying to install FreeBSD 5.1 -RELEASE on our Compaq Proliant 2500 server with (4) 9.1G hard drives using Raid5 and the install hangs at:
/stand/sysinstall running as init on vty0
Is this because of:
"The RAIDframe disk driver described in raid(4) is non-functional for this release."
..from the errata?
I tried to search the archives but got an error saying they aren't available right now.
Thanks
Joe
