I have an onboard Intel ICH7-M SATA controller with an SATA hard drive and cdrom connected to it. I am unable to install FreeBSD onto the harddrive. =20 =20 According to the FreeBSD website ICH7 has been supported since version 6.0 I have tried putting the controller in Legacy Mode and tried turning turned DMA off in on boot. I have tested both of my SATA ports on the motherboard to make sure they both work with an alternate operating system (Windows) and they both worked. =20 =20 I have also installed the harddrive in another computer and installed FreeBSD on it successfully and then (after testing it and booting successfully on that computer) put it in the machine I am having the problems with only to have it start booting and then error out with harddrive errors. =20 During boot I get this error: ad0: FAILURE -READ_DMA48 status=3Dff<BUSY, READY,DMA_READY,DSC,DRQ,CORRECTABLE,INDEX,ERROR> error=3D0 = LBA=3D390721967 =20 =20 During install the error I get is Error mounting /mnt/dev/ad0s1e on /mnt/tmp : Input/output error =20 ad0: FAILURE - READ_DMA status=3Dff<BUSY,READY, DMA_READY,DSC,DRQ,CORRECTABLE,INDEX,ERROR> error=3D0 LBA=3D9303631 =20 Anyone have any ideas? =20 =20 Thanks, Mark =20 =20
