My motherboard is the MSI K9N2G Neo-FD. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=3DN82E16813130182 http://www.msicomputer.com/product/p_spec.asp?model=3DK9N2G_Neo-FD&class=3D= mb It is AMD64 using the NVIDIA chipset. Its manual states that it has the NVIDIA NForce Storage Controller, and there is absolutely no mention of RocketRAID anywhere in the manual or on MSI's web site. MSI mentions... 6 SATA II (1~6) ports by NVIDIA=C2=AE GeForce 8200 Series SATAII 1~6 support RAID 0/1/0+1/5 or JBOD mode by NVIDIA=C2=AE GeForce 8200 Series RocketRAID appears to be a type of PCI card RAID controller, which I don't have. I'm very confused why FreeBSD uses the "HPT RocketRAID controller driver v1.1" on boot. Also, isn't the NVIDIA chipset supposed to be supported by FreeBSD? I have a USB boot of FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE. I put hptrr_load=3D"YES" in the /boot/loader.conf file. But, I haven't tried it yet (I'm at work at the moment). Is there anything else to try? What about getting FreeBSD to not use RocketRAID? Shouldn't it be loading = a driver for NForce? --=20 View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/FreeBSD-7-load-hangs-on= -boot-tp21039625p21060042.html Sent from the freebsd-questions mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
