Anyone make any progress with this issue?

I have the same problem. I've just assembled a new machine from scratch based on an Asus P6TWS Pro motherboard and 9.10 will NOT recognize my Raid1 array on bootup.

I've followed the "Fakeraid howto", and have reinstalled half a dozen times so far. No way will 9.10 see the disks.

My system has 3 1TB SATA drives. One drive is my system drive, and 9.10 is loaded and will boot from that drive.

The other 2 drives form a "hardware" raid1 array via an on board Marvell controller and BIOS settings.

The drives in the raid array have never been touched as individual drives: They were installed clean and the partitioning/formatting was done on the array via gparted.

dmraid will detect the disks, but only when it is manually executed.

The first bootup after a clean install and following the "Fakeraid howto" instructions results in failure to mount and the option to press ESC to enter the maintenance shell. Amy subsequent bootup seems to completely ignore the array. There is no failure message and the system does not see the array until I manually run dmraid.

I need to get past this issue ASAP and get the array on line.

Any suggestions?
