Greetings, The net6501 works well, booting from an internal USB key under FreeBSD without problem.
If I then connect 2 external USB drives onto the USB ports while FreeBSD is up, it detects the drives correctly and I can use them as expected. However, if I reset the net6501, it freezes during boot up thusly: > comBIOS ver. 1.41a 20111203 Copyright (C) 2000-2011 Soekris Engineering. > net6501 > 2048 Mbyte Memory CPU Atom E6xx 1600 Mhz > SATA AHCI BIOS ver. 0.6 20110902 Copyright (C) 2003-2011 Intel Corporation > Controller Bus#02, Device#06, Function#00: 02 Ports > No device found > Soekris USB Expansion ROM ver. 1.01 20111203 > 80: USB 01 Xlt -2-32 Mbyte > 81: USB I notice that disk #80 has no number of cylinders (-2-32 Mbyte), and the net6501 freezes probing disk #81 (red Error light stays on). Both disks are external 2GB 3.5" drives with their own power supply. Could it be a question of timing? Or perhaps a need to retry upon getting an error? I suppose that the issue is not a question of power, as the 2 disks are externally powered. Any suggestion appreciated.
