It is currently running RedHat 6.1, and I want to upgrade it to FreeBSD 4.1.1. However, when I try to boot from the CD I get these results after the kernel configuration: ... ata1-slave: identify retries exceeded acd0: CDROM at ata1-master using PIO4 Waiting for 15 seconds for SCSI devices to settle ... and then, nothing. The computer doesn't quite hang; I can set the numlock on and off, and ctrl-alt-del works. Alt-F2 doesn't tell me anything, and the SCSI chain is properly terminated (There's a terminator at the end of the ribbon connected to the drives in the RAID array, and there's nothing else connected), and Linux boots and works perfectly. The RAID controller is properly detected. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks! Grayson To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
