I've been trying like crazy to get the 9x series code installed on a brand new workstation I'm building. It consists of a brand new ASRock motherboard and haswell i7-4770k processor, Z87 chipset. I tried at first to install 9.1-RELEASE. it worked (after I learned a bit about the new installer--I have used FreeBSD "forever" but have been "out of it" in terms of this list and other going's on for about a year due to workload), but upon booting I was getting "timeout" errors ahcich0: Timeout on slot xx port 0 ahcich0: is 000000000 cs 00000000 ss e0000000 rs e0000000 tfd 40 serr 00000000 cmd 0004df17 to the SSD that I used as the primary hard drive. So, then I figured I would try a more recent snapshot hoping that something had been spotted and fixed already. I got the 9.2-PRERELEASE amd64 snapshot and tried to install it. However, I couldn't even get past the first screen of the install because of these messages: ugen0.2: (Unknown) at usbus0 (disconnected) uhub_reattach_port: could not allocate new device and the keyboard was non-functional. It just sat there spewing these errors about 1 per second. So, even though I'm having some sort of ahci "timeout" issue with this hardware and 9.1-RELEASE, it certainly appears that something has zig-zagged in the usb stack in this 9.2-PRELEASE snapshot because I can't even get through the install program. :(. Same hardware, same everything. I also tried the 9.2-PRELEASE i386 snapshot for giggles. Same result. The final blow to my sanity was when I rolled back and tried to install 8.4-RELEASE and sysinstall couldn't make the disk devices after I hit 'W' in the disk label editor to commit my changes. So, I'm wondering generically are people having problems with SSD's in FreeBSD? In this hardware I have not tried using a traditional SATA disk yet. But just thought I would report that 9.2-PRERELEASE can't even get through install on this H/W where 9.1 could......... -Jr
