I did all my due diligence, I contacted freebsd-fs and _made sure_ that even though the 2820sa is not listed by name in the HCL, that I could take a 6.1-RELEASE cd and install freebsd on a 2820sa.
I was _assured_ that these cards are supported in 6.1-RELEASE, that all is well, and I could install and that was that. Now I boot off of the 6.1-RELEASE cd, and sysinstall tells me "no disks found". I tried safe mode, same result. I tried disabling all unnecessary items from the BIOS (onboard sata, USB, com2, LPT) and same result. FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE iso just does not find a disk controller. Period. So ... what do I do ?? I see no way of adding a driver to sysinstall .. .and even if I did I have no idea what to put there, as the published driver from adaptec is only for 5.x. I have to assume that aac is built into the sysinstall kernel, so what gives ? Why can't sysinstall see my 2820sa cards ? (and drives) Thanks. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
