I have read about this problem with past releases (Bug# 126666) and there was some suggestion there was to be a fix. But this issue still remains in 7.1-RC1. Any recent Linux version I have tried works well with the nVidia MCP73 SATA controller, and I've heard off a friend that OpenBSD 4.4 can successfully use it. I guess this means no FreeBSD for me. >How-To-Repeat: Get a stock Compaq Presario sr5648f computer and run the F-BSD 7.1-RC1 installer. A message should come up saying No Hard Disk Media Found and advise you look in the docs to see if you disks are being probed rightly. >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
