I work in the Caterpillar IT dept. and even our orders from one week to another differ. The one I am using has a SATA controller (ICH6M) with ATI pci-x video. Is this what you are using? As far as the setup I am doing a simple one slice system and setting is active. And I check it on vc4 and it shows active. I am also just doing a minimal install so I dont understand what could be different than the many other installs. I had it on a Dell D600 with no problems, but it was PATA. Although I dont know why SATA would cause an issue as I know FBSD to have great SATA support. How can I get the dmesg info for you from sysinstall/vc4? I really appreciate your assistance. Thank you, Dean. --- Eric Anderson wrote: > It had the ICH6M, but the 915GM is graphics I > believe (so shouldn't > matter).
