New system: Asus A7N8X-E motherboard, Athlon XP 2600+ 2 SATA seagate drives Old buslogic SCSI controller with 2 drives, a cd, and a tape. ATI compatible radeon 9000 agp 4x video card The scsi disks have win nt images on them, from a previous system so I can continue running it until I get a new one with both freebsd and nt going off the sata drives. When booted, the nt system runs fine. The BIOS reported devices and FreeBSD 4.10 boot probe (see below), show the scsi device (pci1 at 6.0, irq11), but fbsd doesn't recognize it. Freebsd isn't recognizing the buslogic controller (bt0) device (pci1, device 6.0), the sata device (pci1 device 11.0), or either of the network devices (pci0 device 4.0, pci1 device 4.0). From the archives it appears sata isn't supported in 4.10, or at least the sil 3112a controller, which explains that piece. However, I'm puzzled as to why the scsi controller isn't recognized, given that the bt driver is in the generic kernel on the floppy, and given that it boots ok on nt. The 5 pci slots have shared irqs, and the mobo docs say if the drivers for the devices installed in the pci slots don't support shared irqs, then the slots have to be allocated / left unused so that only one device is present for each shared set. Do the freebsd drivers generally support shared irqs? In particular, does the 4.10 bt driver support them? Assuming the bt0 device is recognized, what is the right thing to feed boot to boot from the CD (scsi device 6)? Do I need to bag 4.10 and go with 5.3 to get this to work? Will 5.3 work with this board? What is the current status of sil 3112a support? Is this motherboard worth using, or should I bag it and get something else? Suggestions for a different socket a + sata mobo? General comments on sata viability? Thanks for any insights.
