I've got a Promise SATAII 150 TX2plus (pci)
controller connected to my Asus A7N8X Deluxe motherboard.
The drive in question is a Maxtor 6B200M0.
First of all, when the drive is connected I can't get
any resent FreeBSD boot cd to do anything but a "intsant reboot"
- it starts to load, some text flashes and the computer reboots.
When booting from floppies or with the drive disconnected
(just reconnect it when I get to the menu) I get this:
ad4: Maxtor 6B200M0 BANC1B70
ad4: 398297088 sectors [395136C/16H/63S] 16 sectors/intrupts 1
depth queue
ad4: Promise check1 failed
ad4: Adaptec check1 failed
ad4: LSI (v3) check1 failed
ad4: LSI (v2) check1 failed
ad4: FreeBSD check1 failed
GEOM: new disk ad4
Just for the record, I got 6.1 rel. installed by disabling firewire
(1394) in the bios (this seems like an A7N8X related issue) and boot
with the drive disconnected. (just connected it when I got to "the menu")
Still don't know why the cd's wont boot with the SATA drive connected,
but since it's only a problem under the initial install I don't really
care enough to investigate it..
6.1 is running great :)
