Also there is this hptrr: HPT RocketRAID controller driver v1.1 (Feb 24 2008 10:34:18) hptrr: no controller detected. Since I do not have a HPT RocketRAID controller why does it still load in on the boot up? is there an explanation for this? Will I have any problems if I push freebsd 7 64 bit on this box? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks. Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo! Mobile.
