Hello,

I have tried installing the following versions of FreeBSD:
   - 7.0 Release
   - 6.2 Release
   - 6.1 Release

on an ACER Aspire AM1640-U1401A computer and the install program is not
detecting the SATA hard drive.

Does anybody else on the list have the above computer and have they
succeeded in installing FreeBSD on it?

I have an Acer Aspire AMD and had issues initially installing FBSD. What are you seeing when booting the installion cd? Do you get any errors?

Any hints or feedback will be greatly appreciated.

regards,
joseph

Maybe this is a very late reply but I haven't read this list for a while and this post/problem seems unsolved so I make a reply.

Maybe you need to adjust the settings in the bios.

I have the experience that to install and run Windows XP I need to *disable* native sata in the bios on some notebooks, e.g. HP 6710B, but to install and run Linux I must *enable* native sata in the bios.
