Both of those adapters are ahc(4). Since the driver does the CHS calculation for a given device, the geometry should have been the same when writing the partition info. However, there may have been a difference in the BIOS computation of geometry, hence the booting problem. It would have been nice to have that matrix (old/new BSD geometry vs. old/new HBA BIOS geometry). -Nate To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message
