We had one site with nearly the same stuff (Dell 400, etc and a controller that seemed to be SATA) and the same result. We could not install on it and the site admin finally replaced the controller with a plain SCSI and was able to install with no problem. Note that it appeared to slice (fdisk) and make partitiona (disklabel) and these showed up on future attempts so it seemed to be able to write the label. But, it was completely unable to write anything more than that. The newfs failed as you see. So, no help, but just some support for your experience - unless recommending switching to a SCSI controller is considered help. I posted to the list at that time and had a couple inquiries, but no-one seemed to have any workable suggestions. I am guessing that the driver support is incomplete for that setup, but don't know enough to pinpoint it. ////jerry > > I would appreciate any help at all.
