Hi, =20 I am very new to FreeBSD. So pls be patient. I try to install FreeBSD 6.1 on my Amilo 3438G. It has a VIA VT 6421 inside= . I have 2 80GB HDs configured as Raid0. I have one partition (80GB) with W= indows XP SP2. Now I want to install FreeBSD 6.1 as second boot option. While booting the = Setup I can see that FreeBSD recognize 2 HDs (ad4 and ad6). The Log indicates that there are problems with these drives (which my Windo= ws and the VIA Tool do not recognize). FreeBSD seems to have problems read= ing DMA (READ_DMA Timeout,.....). But after this I come to sysinstall. I ch= oose custom Installation and Partition. I have 3 drives (ad4, ad6, ar0). If= I select ar0 it is totaly unused. ad6 reports: A geometry of 155061/16/63 = is incorrect.... Also ad6 is unused. ad4 reports the same problem. But in ad4 I can see my N= TFS partition (ad4s1). =20 any ideas? thx in advance Bjoern =20 =20 _________________________________________________________________ Mehr wissen. Mehr weitergeben.
