Greetings:

I have a CMD Technology PCI0649 card, which is a PCI IDE RAID controller
that does RAID0 (striping), RAID1 (mirroring), and RAID0+1 (striping+
mirroring) with cheap IDE drives.

NetBSD-1.52 is able to properly recognize this card as a valid PCI IDE
controller, is able to detect the IDE drives attached to it, and can even
mount each of these drives without any errors!  :-)

However, when I used the BIOS level RAID configuration to create a RAID1
(mirroring) set with two 20GB IDE drives, NetBSD- 1.52 still detects the
two individual drives, but is unable to detect the combined RAID1 set,
even though I compiled the following two raid options into my 1.52 kernel.
==========================================================================  
pseudo-device  raid            4  # RAIDframe disk driver
options        RAID_AUTOCONFIG    # auto-configuration of RAID components
==========================================================================

Below is a screen capture of the CMD-PCI0649 BIOS RAID configuration
screen.  As you can see, "Set1" is the RAID1 (mirroring) set created by
combining the two 20GB IDE drives.

Any idea on why NetBSD's RAIDFRAME disk driver not detecting the
combined RAID1 set?  Any suggestions on what I can do to fix it?  Yes,
I know that I can use the CCD (Concatenated disk driver) in NetBSD to
do disk mirroring, but I would prefer to do it in hardware!
 
Thank you in advance.
 
Sincerely,
Alicia.
