Both hard disks in my machine is SATA, and I believe the problem does not occur with PATA disks (even though I do not have one to test). The SATA hard drives run off a SiS 180/181 RAID Controller (even though they are not in RAID mode, and there is no ATA support in the BIOS) which is part of the Asus P4S-800D series. During boot time, I can see the device being loaded/probed. A similar ticket has been opened in the past: kern/87585, however I was not around then to test it. >How-To-Repeat: Simply insert any 6.3 or 7.0 FreeBSD install disk into a machine with only SATA hard drives. Load into sysinstall and do a standard install. >Fix: There are a few references, one of them is a ticket opened in the past: kern/87585 A similar problem cropped into NetBSD, one (possible) solution was: http://archive.netbsd.se/?ml=netbsd-tech-kern&a=2004-11&m=494701 >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
