RAID or Native IDE ?

[Lpero]

The first time I tried to install PC-BSD (9.0), the DVD didn't even boot.
To solve this issue, I had to change an option in the BIOS setup of my computer (an Acer Aspire desktop) : in the "Integrated peripherals", I replaced "RAID" with "Native IDE". A third option, "AHCI" was also available but nothing worked when I tried it.

With "Native IDE" selected, I was able to boot and install PC-BSD and, then, to use it. But Windows didn't boot anymore. I had to switch back to "RAID" for Windows to work, so I couldn't use PC-BSD.

I recently tried again with PC-BSD 9.1 beta but faced the exact same problem. Is there a way to tweak the kernel so that it boots when RAID is selected in the BIOS ?

Hi,

To determine why it isn't booting with the hard drive controller set to RAID, it would help if you could take a picture of the screen when it stops booting and provide it to us.

Sorry for not replying sooner : I was on holiday.

The boot process stops immediatly. All I can see is a twirling slash bar during half a second, then it reboots.
