5.1 & Compaq Smart Array

[Raphaël Marmier]

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/.

Then maybe try to disable APIC at boot (??), as this is known to cause  
problems. But first, go to the BIOS on the server and make sure it is  
preset either for Linux OS or for "Other". Then maybe make sure your  
raid volume(s) is configured with Compaq tools before attempting to  
install FreeBSD.

hope this helps
