Hello All, I encountered the same problem as reported to this list earlier, http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2009-February/048305.html, but then with 7.1-RELEASE-p4. Interestingly enough, FreeBSD booted fine on the machine installed (updated from 7.0 to 7.1-RELEASE-p4). This machine is a PowerEdge 1850 bios A04 with Perc 43/Si bios H430 / fwVer 521S. When booting a drive from this machine in another PowerEdge 1850, bios A07 Perc 4e/Si bios H435 FwVer 5B2D it drops to the can mount root prompt, similar as reported originally, see http://omx.ch/om/stuff/pe1850bsd71error.jpg. By specifying the kern.cam.scsi_delay, as suggested in this thread, the problem is solved. So there is a workaround, but I would prefer to see this fixed instead. I can't find a problem report regarding this topic though so can't find the current status. Does anybody know the current status? I can test if this issue has been solved if needed. I need to know then what to test of course... 7.1-STABLE or 7.2 BETA1 etc... Regards, Jeroen
