Hello,

my attempt to install 12.0 on Tyan TN71-BP012 box with POWER8 CPU fails 
while extracting distribution files. The message -- probably kernel 
complain as it "destroys" nice curses dialog of Archive Extraction -- 
contains this:

ahcich1: Timeout on slot 0 port 0
ahcich1: is 00000000 cs fdffffff ss ffffffff rs ffffffff tfd 40 serr

I'm not sure if I've shoot all before panic. I guess what happened after 
those messages is kernel panic and then straight reboot.
The drive connected to Marvel SATA mezanine board in Tyan is WD GOLD 
500GB SATA.
Is there any workaround for this issue? As I'd like to have FreeBSD 
running on bare-metal/powernv instead of inside the PowerKVN provided in 
also installed ubuntu, where freebsd works fine.


Thanks!
Karel
