hi  freebsd 

During Installation FreeBSD 4.7 does not akzept the parameters the Harddisk 
Geometrie  values of a IBM IC35L100AVV .  
the bios is showing 49275/16/255 ;
Linux  Kernel 2.4.19 can handle the disk and showing the geometrie of
199450/16/63.
FreeBSD does not want to accept this parameters and is showing
12514/255/63 . Accepting this proposal will reduce the capacity
( because of bad blocks (they aren't there) ) and produce
error messages running FreeBSD.

That seems very confusing to me.
LINUX Kernel  2.4.20 can not handle the Ali 5229 UltraDMA Controller and the 
ALI M1649 + M1535D Chipset, but FreeBSD seems to be able to handle
that.

What to do ? 

I need a FreeOS on this system; I don't know what to try next.

Can anybody help ?


thanX in Advance

Helmut
