Hi all, I have had a system configured using this mobo and have hit a showstopper. The HDD (a seagate 330GB IDE) have been connected to the ITE IDE controller while the DVDrom has been connected to the primary IDE controller.=20 It seems that the ITE device is a RAID controller, and the BIOS and the 5.4 FreeBSD installer dont see the HDD at all. Which is not very useful! The mobo has a SATA port as well, and the question is Does 5.4 support SATA drives for install?=20 I think I can tell the BIOS to make a SATA drive 'look like' an IDE=20 drive. (sent to hackers also for this followup question) As a followup - Does anyone know of any support re the ITE device?
