I am trying to perform an install of gentoo on a system where the primary disks will be in a hardware RAID1 using the
ServerWorks Broadcom BCM5785 chipset [HT1000] on a Tyan S3892 (K8HM) system board.
The sata_svw driver does not recognize the controller if I enable to RAID configuration in the bios.
lspci shows:
01:0e.0 RAID bus controller: Unknown device 182r:000b
If I enabled the SATA configuration in the bios, the controller recignized, and the sata_svw driver works.
lspci shows:
01:0e.0 RAID bus controller: Broadcom BCM5785 [HT1000] SATA (Native SATA Mode)
uname -a
Linux livecd 2.6.19-gentoo-r5 #1 SMP Wed Apr 4 05:44:43 UTC 2007 i686 Dual Core AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 275 Authentic

The bios is:
Amibios Version 08.00.11,

Is there a way to make the sata_svw driver work with this RAID card in a RAID configuration.
