Hi,
I am very new to FreeBSD. So pls be patient.
I try to install FreeBSD 6.1 on my Amilo 3438G. It has a VIA VT 6421 inside. I
have 2 80GB HDs configured as Raid0. I have one partition (80GB) with Windows
XP SP2.
Now I want to install FreeBSD 6.1 as second boot option. While booting the
Setup I can see that FreeBSD recognize 2 HDs (ad4 and ad6).
The Log indicates that there are problems with these drives (which my Windows
and the VIA Tool do not recognize). FreeBSD seems to have problems reading DMA
(READ_DMA Timeout,.....). But after this I come to sysinstall. I choose custom
Installation and Partition. I have 3 drives (ad4, ad6, ar0). If I select ar0 it
is totaly unused. ad6 reports: A geometry of 155061/16/63 is incorrect....
Also ad6 is unused. ad4 reports the same problem. But in ad4 I can see my NTFS
partition (ad4s1).
any ideas? thx in advance
Bjoern

Bjoern;
I had the same msg with a 60G Hitachi on a Gateway. The msg went on to
say it was using more reasonable values, so I went ahead with the
install, and it works fine. See what happens.
