Hello! I'm trying to install 7.0 in a new HP Proliant ML110 G5. This box has only 6 SATA connections (CD & HD are SATA), not IDE interfaces. FreeBSD 7.0 CD1 (i386) starts but stops with an error: ad0: 238475MB <Seagate ST3250620NS 3BJP> at ata0-master SATA150 acd0: DVDR <HL-DT-ST DVD-RAM GSA-H60L/E904) at ata2-master SATA150 SMP: AP CPU #1 Launched! acd0: TIMEOUT - READ_BIG retraying (1 retry left) acd0: TIMEOUT - READ_BIG retraying (0 retries left) acd0: TIMEOUT - READ_BIG timed out acd0: TIMEOUT - READ_BIG retraying (1 retry left) acd0: TIMEOUT - READ_BIG retraying (0 retries left) acd0: TIMEOUT - READ_BIG timed out acd0: TIMEOUT - READ_BIG retraying (1 retry left) acd0: TIMEOUT - READ_BIG retraying (0 retries left) acd0: TIMEOUT - READ_BIG timed out I tested other situations: * Acer machine with CD SATA --------> Same problem. * Other HP machine with IDE CD -----> No problem. * HP Proliant ML110 G5 with FreeBSD 6.2 CD1 (i386) -----------> No problem. I made a Google search and there are people with similar problem: http://www.google.com/search?q=acd0+TIMEOUT+READ_BIG+freebsd+7.0 I tried to change my BIOS settings and/or use no-ACPI boot. Same problem. I went outside for more than one hour and when I returned sysinstall was launched. So, retraying the CD unit for a longtime worked (?). I made my installation but I found two more problems: * On-board NIC was not detected. * shutdown -r now did'nt restart the system. The system was blocked at: All buffers synced. Uptime: 56m6s Any ideas? Thanks in advance, Josep Pujadas
