Re: HDD missing from sysinstall
When I put in my fbsd 6.3 or 7.0 install disk sysinstall is unable to detect any of the hard drives in my computer. This is includes SATA and IDE HDDs in varying orders. BIOS is able to detect the the hard drives. I Previously had fbsd 6.2 installed on them and the problem started when I upgraded the kernel to 6.3 although I don't see my upgrades relevance as I have tried to reinstall from a clean disk since then. I have the exact same problem on an Asus P5N-E sli board. I have two ide harddrives, two ide optical drives and one sata harddisk connected. After trying to boot FreeBSD 7.0, which gives me No disks found, i cannot boot in freebsd 6.2 or linux anymore. I have to reboot with the ide harddisks disconnected. And then erboot again (with drives reconnected) before my machine can boot again. (Then both freebsd 6.2 and linxu works again) This is not a problem in the installer but in the kernel as i get the same result when upgrading (both to 7.0 and 8.0-current) I thing thes is a very severe problem/bug/regression.. I dont dare to try FreeBSD on a laptop where i cannot disconnect the drives as easily. dmesg from 6.2 attached. I cannot find a way to provide dmesg from 7.0 from the install cd (disk 1 -- i cannot mount livefs as optical drives are also not found) Best Regards Troels -- Troels Kofoed Jacobsen [EMAIL PROTECTED] tel: +45 20880798 Copyright (c) 1992-2007 The FreeBSD Project.

Re: HDD missing from sysinstall
I had a missing hard drive on a FreeBSD box that had a single IDE drive that was incorrectly jumpered. After I switched the jumper on the disk controller, everything was correctly detected by the device probe. (This shouldn't be an issue on SATA drives though.) Something you might try before looking into hardware issues, is to use a liveCD such as Freesbie (available in the ports collection sysutils/freesbie), boot to the liveCD and use dd(1) to entirely obliterate the first few sectors of the disk, nuking the the master boot record. That is, if the device probe on the liveCD detects the disk. (Perhaps use an older version.) This will make any previous data on the disk inaccessible, but if a really corrupt master boot record in concert with a funky BIOS are at fault, this would resolve the issue. You could then use sysinstall to install a new master boot record and so forth. The command would look something like this: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ad0 bs=512 count=1 # Nuke the master boot record. Replace 'ad0' with the appropriate device. # IMPORTANT: This will make the disk not bootable. Just a thought. -Modulok- On 3/1/08, comperr [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Just to add I am using an MSI P6N SLI plat. motherboard On Mar 1, 10:28 pm, comperr [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: When I put in my fbsd 6.3 or 7.0 install disk sysinstall is unable to detect any of the hard drives in my computer.

What is the machine model and make, please? This can happen because previously the disk driver in 6.2 was treating your disk as generic ATA devices, but then support for your IDE controller was added into the driver, and now your BIOS has it in a weird mode. A dmesg from the 6.2 system would be useful as well.
