MacOS X Server 10.5.5 w/ Silicon Image 3124 SATA Card

[jgonda]

Hi All,

So, I’m trying to get a Xserve G5 running 10.5.5. to play nicely with a Norco 4618 card (Silicon Image 3124 based) SATA card. I’ve installed they’re drivers and System Info recognizes the card and claims that a driver is present for it. Where I’m running into a problem is that as soon as I try to do anything with the new drives (ie format, partition, raid) the system locks. I’m guessing this is a driver/hardware issue, but I was wondering if anyone else has encountered this. SI’s website only has a 10.5.1 listing for the drivers, so I don’t know if that could be a problem…also, does anyone know if it could be MacOS X Server specific issue with the card as opposed to a general 10.5.5. one?

Thanks for any help,

-gonda
