Re: Hardware detection
That is usually what happens when the disk controller is one that FreeBSD does not have support for, so it treats the controller as a "Generic" ATA controller. Should normally work fine albeit with somewhat suboptimal performance. (And even though it says UDMA33 a SATA controller should still work at SATA150 speed, so the performance penalty should not be so severe.) in my case it was slow and unstable, up to 15 minutes between crashes. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
RE: Hardware detection
Exactly my problem. It says ad4: DMA limited to UDMA33, device found non-ATA66 cable ad4: 152587MB at ata2-master UDMA33 ad6: DMA limited to UDMA33, device found non-ATA66 cable ad6: 152587MB at ata3-master UDMA33 Weird. What would cause this ?? try changing SATA mode in BIOS (whatever it's called). i have to set "RAID" (while not actually defining any RAID sets) to make it working. you may think it is nonsense, and you are right, but BIOS isn't part of FreeBSD, and is written with windoze in mind, so don't expect any sense there. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Re: Hardware detection
Looked at dmesg, but am unsure of how Freebsd would identify a SATA drive. it says it's sata like that: ad10: 305244MB at ata5-master SATA300 ad12: 305245MB at ata6-master SATA300 ad14: 305245MB at ata7-master SATA300 ad18: 476940MB at ata9-master SATA300 ad20: 476940MB at ata10-master SATA300 Wouldn't Freebsd fail to install if it didn't recognize the drives as SATA ? no. but if it recognizes it as ATA-33 or like this - something is wrong. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
