Thought I'd try using the Dell and ARC-1200 combination with 6.9-BETA I
mentioned a couple months ago (https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=158259981320518), but still no luck. Dmesg of both 6.9-BETA and verbose FreeBSD 12.1-RELEASE attached in case they might be useful. I've also gone backwards to 5.8-RELEASE on the off chance I could zero in on a change that broke things, but no luck there, either. |

Can you please try booting different versions until you find one that works? You said OpenBSD 5.8 does not boot either? Did you mean 6.8? And, can you try OpenBSD 5.4 and 5.5 ? |

I went through https://cvsweb.openbsd.org/src/sys/dev/pci/arc.c checking for when changes to the driver hit a release, and attempted booting those releases. I'll look at more mirrors on the list to see if I can find those older releases and report back either way. |

(dmesg attached), but doesn't actually see the 1TB array (installer says "Available disks are: none." I did get this curiosity after I escaped the install shell and rebooted: # reboot syncing disks... done arc0: timeout waiting to stop bg rebuild arc0: timeout waiting to flush cache rebooting... There is no array building/modification activity going on, so... (shrug) |

I had one working but there may be different firmware, etc. Areca sent a newer patch to openbsd-tech in the last year or so which you should try: From: ching Huang <[hidden email]> Subject: [PATCH: sys/dev/pci/arc.c] update Areca Raid adapter driver arc.c for support ARC-1203, ARC-1884 It's not clear if this changes the behavior on your card significantly.

Ohh... that's a pretty big diff, but my Marvell-based ARC-1200 is listed
as affected, so it's certainly worth a shot. Now to dig in and teach myself how to patch and build releases against -CURRENT (might be a while before I come back with results)...
