The Problem: The install disk would hang during a probe of the CD/DVD drive with that re= peated message about ' x seconds waiting for xpt_config=2C' and would have to be p= owered off=20 manually. The Solution:=20 Installing FBSD 7.1 to a usb flash drive=2C and recompiling the kernel with= out the ATAPI line got the flash drive system fully functional. What I'm Hoping For: To understand the problem more clearly. Ideally I'd like to help to debug t= he problem between the freebsd component and this particular drive. I know access to h= ardware =20 can be a limitation for project developers=2C but I'm willing to conduct an= y tests=2C and=20 provide any information I can. I hate to see something as critical for inst= allation as a CD drive failing for new hardware.

Is it possible to spin down HDD before it is powered off? My problem/concern is that when I call "shutdown -p now", the HDD is powered off at it's _full_ speed and as a result I hear a noise, which really concerns me. I'm afraid that this kind of shutdown will damage HDD. It's a new HDD, it works fine in Windows, I mean it shuts down w/o this noise. What I need(at least think I do) is to spin down or put into sleep mode HDD right before system will be powered off. I've tried to use atacontrol spindown but sync-ing disks wakes HDD again. I also tried ataidle -s my_dev which puts hdd into sleep mode, but again, same result, when it syncs disks it HDD is waken... Are there any solutions? Thank you in advance.

It is supported by FreeBSD. If you want to kow if your Ethernet controller is supported, we need to know what controller it is (e.g. vendor ID and product ID from "pciconf -lv" output). I think that the support for intel NICs is very good, thanks to Jack Vogel, so yours will probably work fine with either the em(4) or igb(4) driver.

I spoke too soon. Although things seemed to be working, SMS Server Tools would lose communication with the serial-attached GSM terminal after a few hours. Bottom line is that it appears that for whatever reason the uart(4) driver can't reliably drive the SIIG CyberSerial 4S (16550-based) card. After a bit of Googling I followed the advice of others who have had problems with the uart(4) driver not working well with their hardware, and built a kernel without it. In that case, puc(4) will drive the card with the sio(4) driver instead. Running in this configuration the system has been rock solid for two weeks, with all devices (thermometer, GSM terminal and two UPSs) attached to the SIIG card. I'll raise a PR. -roy From owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Wed Mar 4 22:52:45 2009 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 32926106564A for ; Wed, 4 Mar 2009 22:52:45 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from ken@nargothrond.kdm.org) Received: from nargothrond.kdm.org (nargothrond.kdm.org [70.56.43.81]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id B2FF48FC08 for ; Wed, 4 Mar 2009 22:52:44 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from ken@nargothrond.kdm.org) Received: from nargothrond.kdm.org (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by nargothrond.kdm.org (8.14.2/8.13.6) with ESMTP id n24MXBth035779; Wed, 4 Mar 2009 15:33:11 -0700 (MST) (envelope-from ken@nargothrond.kdm.org) Received: (from ken@localhost) by nargothrond.kdm.org (8.14.2/8.14.2/Submit) id n24MXB9E035778; Wed, 4 Mar 2009 15:33:11 -0700 (MST) (envelope-from ken) Date: Wed, 4 Mar 2009 15:33:11 -0700 From: "Kenneth D.
