https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D215870 Bug ID: 215870 Summary: Install error - Harddrive disappears Product: Base System Version: CURRENT Hardware: amd64 OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Some People Priority: --- Component: standards Assignee: freebsd-standards@FreeBSD.org Reporter: rs@iww.se CC: freebsd-amd64@FreeBSD.org CC: freebsd-amd64@FreeBSD.org Trying to install FreeBSD 12 CURRENT (and TrueOS) on an ASUS X102BA notebook with SSD. The install looks at first successful, but after reboot there's nothing there. It just goes back to the install menu or if I remove the USB= -pin I just get a black screen with text "insert proper boot media". A look in BIOS/UEFI confirms that the harddrive is disappeared. When I overwrite the = disk with zeros it gets back in BIOS, so it seems there's nothing wrong with the harddrive. I tried FreeBSD both with ZFS and UFS formatting, but there's no difference= . It also doesn't matter if I try to install from UEFI or plain BIOS, it only changes the screen resolution, but otherwise there is no other difference. The computers Secure Boot is disengaged and CSM is engaged. As a test I tried to install Linux Mint and Ubuntu, and those installs with= no problem. As far as I can understand it has something to do with the formatting or partitioning. A computer workshop I've been talking to says that this is a fairly common problem and that it needs some kind of SATA-RAID driver. I do= n't know. There is a long thread on the TrueOS Community here https://discourse.trueos.org/t/tried-to-install-trueos-today-no-luck/216 (I don't know if I've chosen the right component above. If not, you may cha= nge it to the right one) --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
