Can you enlighten me about the appropriate magic.... ??? I found the old PR about the ASUS A7V and it seems to have been fixed in 4.2R.... The install works fine... the drivers find the controller... the install seems to work on the new disks hanging of the ATA100. The boot loader finds the kernel on ad4 and then it craps out saying it can't load the root partition.... Any pointers? I'll try moving the root partition disk to the ordinary IDE tomorrow but this seems like a waste of a good fast disk... thanks, --dr To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
