My feeling is that you either have a bad cable or the sata controller
is having problems, but it could also be the HDD (it *is* plugged in,
right?)

Here are some things you can try:
- replace the cable. Yes, cables go bad frequently and for no obvious
reason. So do connectors, but less frequently.
- That mobo probably has four SATA ports, try the drive on different ports.
- take out your Seagate drive and put the WD on that SATA port. (Use a
live cd like FreeSBIE to boot and test the drive configuation.)
- try the Seagate as ad6 and the WD as ad4

This is all basic troubleshooting. By changing one piece of the
configuation at a time you should be able to identify the problem.

SOLVED..

It turns out that the connections tio the drives have to be connected in the 
preferential order by which the drives are listed in the cmos AND that includes 
correct choice for each sata bus. get any of them in the wrong sequence and 
freebsd does not recognize the drive as being present.

Thanks for your input.. it really helped me to stick at it!!

I have now sifted the connected to the SATA2 connector on the motherboard -- 
but it is still not recognized.. see comments below made in the posting I have

That mobo uses an Nvidia chipset, last I checked the drivers for that
chipset weren't that great.

Following my previous posting I have now successfully built amd64 on /dev/ad0 
but not yet mounted ad4 or ad6. While ad4 is "seen" according to 
/var/log/messages the new build does not "see" ad6 .. does anyone have any 
ideas how to fix this?

Sata/IDE drive recognition problem

2006-08-17 Thread Vizion
Hi

While preparing to move a system from i386 to amd architecture The existing 
system is dual booting i386 for 5.4 stable and 6.0. My plan is to remove both 
systems, preserve my data and reinstall 6.1 amd from cd.

The motherboard is a FA-K8N51GMF-9 with 3 hard drives installed. 2xSata and 
1xIDE.

Freebsd 5.4 
#df sees 
/dev/ad4s1a 
devfs, 
/dev/ad4s1e
/dev/ad4s1f
/dev/ad6s1d
/dev/ad6s1e
linprocfs

Freebsd 6.0
#df sees
/dev/ad0s1a
devfs
/dev/ad0s1e
/dev/ad01f
/dev/ad0s1d
/dev/ad4s1a
/dev/ad4s1f
/dev/ad6s1d
devfs

The CD installer select drives interface for 6.1 RELEASE amd64 recognizes
ad0 and
ad4 
but not ad6.

For installing 6.1 amd I will need the installer to see all physical devices 
and existing partitions. 

The Bios CMOS features show 
IDE Channel 0 Master WDC WD2000JB
IDE Channel 0 Slave Lite-on CD-RW
IDE Channel 2 Master ST3160827AS
IDE Channel 3 Master WDC WD2000JD
The Advanced Bios features show
First boot device CDROM
Second Boot Device Hard Disk
Third boot Device Hard Disk

The Hard disk boot priority sequence options show:
Ch0
Ch2
Ch3 
root
shutdown -r

/var/log/messages shows
ad0 WDC WD2000JB at ata0-master UDMA33
acd0 Lite-on at ata0-slave USMA33
ad4 ST3160827AS at ata2-master UDMA33
ad6 WDC WD2000JD at ata3-master UDMA33

How do I get the installer select drives interface to recognize ad6?

Thanks in advance

david
