I recently bought a Dell SC 1420 server, single Xeon 2.8GhZ CPU, 512MB memory, WD 40GB SATA drive, embedded dual channel SATA controller > and so far have failed to install FreeBSD. I have tried 5.4, 5.3, 4.4 > and after recognizing the drive installation has always stopped at > "Waiting 15 secs for scsi drives to settle". I even tried Mandrake 10 > and it stalls on hard disk driver installation. I then disconnected the > SATA drive, connected an IDE drive and the system still halted at the > same spot. I have tried to load the aac module but a message early in > the boot process states that it was not initialized. I have done a > search in google, WD's website, FreeBSD mailing lists and so far no > luck. What other information do I need to gather in order to solve this > problem? As a last resort I tried and installed succesfully Windows 98. I'm hoping that you'll be able to help me with this installation. Thank you very much for your help. Luishome | help
