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 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
