The box boot just fine, with no noticable delay. I can do all normal work. I have been able to create a small 1GB partition on each disk. I can mount this etc. When I run 'iozone' on it, it runs fine for a while....iozone completes on a small file (10-50MB), but freeze on a large (200+MB) file. I have disabled the parallel port in bios, but no change in behavior... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rune Mossige" <r.mossige@sensewave.com> To: <freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: 2. januar 2001 15:49 Subject: ASUS A7V and promise problems > I just bought myself a Christmas present, a new ASUS A7V, Amd Athlon 750, > onboard Promise, and 2 x IBM-DTLA-30745 45GB ATA100 disks. > > In order to install FreeBSD 4.2, I also installed an older 540MB IDE disk. > > FreeBSD 4.2 was CVSUP'ed and buildworld/installworld done on 31.
