Areca 1230 Raid Card Volumes not seen

[Generic George]

I'm in the process of trying to set up an Areca 1230 PCIe Sata Raid card, with an 8 drive array of Raptor150s.

 

I can see all the drives and create the raid in the browser interface, but after I do that, I am not seeing any sort of volume in the Finder, Disk Utility or the System Profiler. I've tried configuring the volume as both a RAID 10 and a JBOD. Neither makes any volume(s) show up.

 

There is an entry for the Areca card in System Profiler, under "Parallel SCSI Cards". It only says "SCSI Parallel Domain 0". The little window below shows the firmware version. and basic info.

 

i'm running SL 10.6.1, I in 32 bit mode. The firmware on the card is 1.47 and I've installed the latest mac drivers (1.32). I also tried it first with the original SL drivers. I have tried it with both the EFI bios and the standard PC bios.

 

Any suggestions?
