I have a dell 1950 here on the floor. Since "1950" seems to refer to a lot
of things with a lot of configurations, I'm going to attempt to narrow that
down a bit.
It's got 2x 2.33Ghz dual core pentiums (stepping 06-0F-6 according to the
bios) in it and it has an SAS RAID card that FreeBSD recognises. I've
upgraded the BIOS to 2.6.1. It has two SAS 70G drives in a RAID 1
configuration and it has a DVD (although it will only boot from CDs).
If it helps, it's between 2 and 3 years old, I think.
If I allow the machine to boot normally, it stopps after checking the floppy
(there is no floppy) with the following message:
fdc0: <floppy drive controller> port 0x3f0-0x3f5,0x3f7 irq 6 drq 2 on acpi0
fdc0: does not respond
device_attach: fdc0 attach returned 6
If I boot the machine without ACPI, it seems to stop at the same place
(stopping after having checked the ata controller, which checks right before
the floppy)
If I boot the machine verbose, I get no more information --- it stopps at
the same place.
I have tried this (so far) with 7.2-R and 7.1-R. Both do the same thing.
Can you try with 7.0 (should be available on ftp-archive)?
I have a 1950 from Sept '07 that's now running 7.2-STABLE i386 with the
fd devices removed. It started out as 7.0-RELEASE, so maybe its a
problem introduced since then?
Also, you didn't mention if you were running i386 or amd64.
