Hi all,

I have a Supermicro MB wiht onboard Adaptec SCSI 7902 chipset. Now the big
question under http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.3R/hardware-i386.html
it says this one is supported but when i try to install 5.3 it simply
doesnt work neither does 5.3 RC1. RC1 sees the drives but not single raid
but two separate drives.
Here are some combinations I tried.

FreeBSD 5.3-Release onboard RAID--Doesn’t work.
FreeBSD 5.3-RC-1 onboard RAID--Works but sees single drives not RAID
FreeBSD 4.11 onboard RAID--Works but sees single drives not RAID.

FreeBSD 5.3-Release Adaptec 2120S--Doesn’t work.
FreeBSD 5.3-RC-1 Adaptec 2120S-Doesn’t Work.
FreeBSD 4.11 Adaptec 2120S-Works.

FreeBSD 5.3-Release LSI Logic Megaraid 320-1- Doesn’t work.
FreeBSD 5.3-RC-1 LSI Logic Megaraid 320-1-Works
FreeBSD 4.11 LSI Logic Megaraid 320-1-Works

Any hints or clues.

Thanks in advance
Aman
