I re-enabled the SiL 3114 in plain disk mode in the mb bios and booted. There is one disk plugged into the mb SATA ports and 2 still plugged in to the Promise controller I have been using. (I also tried it with all 3 plugged into the mb). On boot with the latest -CURRENT, the system no longer crashes. However, even though the BIOS lists the disks correctly on POST, FreeBSD shows no SATA disks. (I boot off a SCSI RAID array on an Adaptec 2200S). Have others a working system with the SiL 2882 dual opteron boards running i386 -CURRENT? Thanks Chad
