 FreeBSD 5.0-RELEASE cannot be installed on our new server which is based 
 on an ICP Vortex 6113RS Raid Controller (iir).
 
 Sysinstall says, it finds no disk. I can see the kernel probing iir's 
 and finding it propertly but i don't know about the disks, i guess it 
 doesn't find any. FreeBSD 4.6.2 does.
 
 FreeBSD 5.0 failed to be installed on _EVERY_ server i tried to do so yet.
 
 DOES ANYBODY CARE ABOUT THIS??
 
 How can this be called a technologie preview if you just see sysinstall 
 failing to find anything at all??
 
 I also submitted a report about it failing to install on our IDE Raid 
 (3ware) based servers.
 
 Should i waste my money on 5.1 at all?? Or will this be fixed?
 
 We ain't running 5.0 here at the company at all yet, since i did not 
 find a machine yet it works on.
 
 At home it works pretty fine.
