RE: Sata drives and FBSD

2005-10-05 Thread Steve Bertrand 
 I have had an issue (as many others have) trying to get 
 STABLE, or even CURRENT running on a box with an ICH6R RAID 
 controller.
 
 After install (which appears to be successful), when I reboot 
 it just sits there with a blinking cursor in the top left of 
 the screen.
 
 I've tried this numerous times over the past couple months to 
 no avail.
 
 Today, I tried another box using a 200GB Sata drive w/o RAID, 
 and the exact same thing happens.
 
 I've tried all manner of things to no avail. If someone can 
 shed some light on this issue, I would most appreciate it.

I'm sorry if this message comes in multiple copies. I was having
problems with my server being rejected by FBSD MX's, and there may be a
couple queued.

 Tks,

ICH6R isn't supported under 5.4, at least with hardware RAID.  You could
try the newest 6.0 stable.  See man ata.

On the other hand, I seem to recall getting ICH6R to run without RAID
under 5.4.  You might want to publish a dmesg.
