Upgraded to 13.2, softraid no longer sees my volume. Driver is loaded, but system report appears to show a problem with dependencies. Completely uninstalled Softraid and reinstalled, still nothing.

I do not see any disks at all. Either the disks were not connected when you saved the support file, or that is the issue. If they were not connected, I need a support file when connected. If they were connected, then this is more likely a cable type issue. Shut down, unplug and replug everything, power cycle the enclosure, then startup again. Do the disks show up in the volumes column?

No, the disks don't even spin up, its like its in standby. Everything was working prior to updating. I have turned it completely off, power cycled, changed ports, etc. Thats the problem... why is nothing showing up. Why is it saying there is a dependency problem in the extensions list?
here is a prior support file when everything was working.

wanted to add, the only light I have on the enclosure is the blue power light. When I unplug the usb cable it turns orange.

for clarity, I am not sure if the drives spin up, its hard to tell. But there are no green lights.

I think I found the issue. So I was so worried about my RAID missing I didn't even notice a single external drive was also missing. What is weird is that two other externals were mounted and working no problem. I kept investigating the extension route. I have other Mac's so I was comparing between the two. This machine had this extention loaded "jmPeripheralDevice.kext" and others did not. The info pane said its Jmicron which I know is a very common SATA controller and I think USB as well. Well I renamed the folder appending _DISABLED and rebooted. Low and behold the missing single drive was back. So then I plug in the OWC enclosure and blue light comes on and I hear the drives spin up and green lights start blinking. I wait a min and my drive shows up in finder. I open SoftRaid and drives are they all healthy and no problems. It would appear this kernel extension is left behind my software from years past. Admittedly I have never clean installed I've just migrated over the years. Maybe its time.

This was a bug in Big Sur, where old extensions prevented others from loading, but I thought all that was fixed in Monterey and Ventura.
Glad it is working now.
