Prigot >Release: 3.4 >Organization: >Environment: >Description: I am using a Soyo 6BA-VII+ motherboard. This motherboard has two ATA/33 ports which conform to the wdc0 and wdc1 specs. There is also a pair of ATA/66 interfaces which the Soyo BIOS sees as a SCSI interface. When I have the disk on the ATA/33 interface there is no problem. When I move the disk to the ATA/66 interface, the system starts to boot, but then panics because it cannot find the root. I have tried various combinations of boot [0..3]:wd([0..3],a)kernel (e.g. 2:wd(3,a)kernel) to no avail. (BTW, Microsoft software sees it as drive C:, Mandrake Linux sees the disk as /dev/hde [FreeBSD is at /dev/hde3]). If I attempt to reinstall FreeBSD, it finds no disks. What incantation do you suggest? (BTW, support for the HighPoint 66 chip has been available only as a patch to the Linux kernel so far. It looks like Mandrake decided to go leading edge in their kernel.) >How-To-Repeat: Move the system disk from the Soyo's ATA/33 interface to its ATA/66 interface. >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
