This is a request for help made after extensive efforts to install freebsd on my computer, and only after having tried almost everything, i was wondering if you have any suggestions. Firstly, may I say what my system is., below: maxtor 6Y120LO hardrive sis 5513 chipset sis 5513 ide controller hda maxtor 6y120l0 ata disk drive bus pci sis648 ATA 133 controller I also get the message in the boot messages, (not 100% native, will probe later) if this is of any moment May I say I am using Suse linux as my main operating system and hope to multi boot from a choice of systems, so far I have had no problem, Debian installed superbly as well. I have Windows xp on the first partition, the unices behind it, (I am no fan of wondows! ) I don't know if any of this will help solve the problem, I have experimented with several parameters, using thre kernal configurator, and wonder if the disk controller I am using is compatable with freebsd. Any help with this would be greatley appreciated. Many thanks, Nick To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
