Hello,

Did you figure out this problem? I have same problem with SIL680.

> I just purchased a Sil680 IDE RAID controller, and have setup
> a striped RAID array.  When I boot from the 5.1 installation
> CD-ROM, FreeBSD does not recognize them as one disk.  I
> checked the hardware notes, and "Sil680 UDMA6" is listed. 
> Seeing Sil680 listed, I assumed that the RAID capabilities
> would also be supported.  I read something posted awhile back
> referring to the Sil680 controller, saying it was supported,
> but dangerous unless using 5.1-Current.  Does anybody know
> anything about the current status of this?  Is there anyway to
> get the FreeBSD installation to recognize my RAID array, or
> should I just buy another controller?
