We have recently updated our "build server" to FreeBSD 5.2.1 and are bumpin=
g=20
into problems with the S/ATA drives that others have mentioned. Earlier=20
today we configured the SATA controllers for "Legacy support" in the BIOS=20
as suggested recently on this list. This seems to have partly fixed the=20
problem, since then we've experienced one hang that the system managed to=20
recover from after a minute or two of unresponsiveness.
In order to quickly resolve this problem, my company has agreed to provide =
a=20
motherboard with ICH5 controller to S=F8ren Schmidt. Can anyone who has=20
encountered this problem confirm that it happens on a motherboard with the=
=20
865 chipset and ICH5 S/ATA controller? In particular, we're looking at an=
=20
Abit IS7-E motherboard. If not, we'll buy one of the more expensive Intel=
=20
units and provide that.
Thanks in advance for your help. Please reply directly to me; I'll=20
summarize and report back here when we've reached a conclusion.
