I just installed FreeBSD 5.2 on an old Dell (Pentium 120). The box has an ide controller onboard as well as a Promise Ultra100 TX2 PCI controller card. There's a 4GB hard drive attatched to the onboard controller used for all of the system files (e.g. /, /var, /tmp, and /usr) and a 200GB hard drive attached to the PCI card with one giant 200GB FAT32 partition for data. The PCI card is recognized during boot (the card's BIOS loads during bootup and a quick 'dmesg' shows a atapci1 entry), but I don't see any entries for the drive under /dev (e.g. there's no /dev/ad1* partitions). I checked that the drive and controller are working, since another computer with a win2k installation seems them just fine. The onboard controller and attached system drive seem to work just fine. Can anyone suggest why the PCI controller is recognized but the drive attached to it isn't? What should I do so that the drive is recognized? ===== Rishi Chopra http://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~rchopra __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
