I haven't seen a verbose dmesg output booting from a non-RAID hard drive. I have 7.4-STABLE working on several multi-CPU Opteron systems, but they are all Tyan motherboards. Are Rioworks/Arima still in business? Rather than use the on-board controllers I've just bought some of the LSI 300-8X

Hi, I only can tell what I do when a machine does not boot from the installation media: I plug the disk into another machine, install the generic kernel, edit /etc and put it back. If this does not work, it will be hard. Erich On Saturday 23 April 2011 14:25:13 Doug Hardie wrote: > > On 22 A
