To: questions@freebsd.org Date: Sun, 14 Jan 1996 12:34:17 -0800 (PST) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24 ME8b] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk I asked awhile back on the -stable mailing list what I needed to know about installing a Promise 2300+ EIDE controller in my FreeBSD 2.1-stable box considering the LINT kernel config file says EIDE drives aren't supported. The only responses I got were people asking me to pass along the information if I figured it out. I've seen people asking questions here about Promise 2300+ controllers and ATAPI CD-ROM drives. To those in the know, what were the settings you set your card at, and what options did you have to compile your kernel with to get the sytem to boot correctly? I don't have an ATAPI CD-ROM drive, just the said controller. I have standard IDE drives formatted using CHS so I've turned off LBA mode on the card (is LBA mode even supported considering the comments from the LINT config file?). With those setting, my DOS partition boots fine, but the FreeBSD partition stops after about 2 rotations of the spinner. If anybody has any info on this, it sounds like more than just myself is looking for the answers. Any help appreciated.
