>Number: 121461 >Category: misc >Synopsis: SATA Hard disks are not detected on SiS 180/181 RAID Controller >Confidential: no >Severity: serious >Priority: medium >Responsible: freebsd-bugs >State: open >Quarter: >Keywords: >Date-Required: >Class: sw-bug >Submitter-Id: current-users >Arrival-Date: Fri Mar 07 10:10:00 UTC 2008 >Closed-Date: >Last-Modified: >Originator: Jaco le Roux >Release: 7.0-RELEASE >Organization: Private >Environment: Cannot install FreeBSD due to the problem experienced. >Description: After loading FreeBSD's 7.0 i386 install CD and entering 'sysinstall', a Standard Install does not detect any hard disks. Both hard disks in my machine is SATA, and I believe the problem does not occur with PATA disks (even though I do not have one to test). The SATA hard drives run off a SiS 180/181 RAID Controller (even though they are not in RAID mode, and there is no ATA support in the BIOS) which is part of the Asus P4S-800D series. During boot time, I can see the device being loaded/probed. A similar ticket has been opened in the past: kern/87585, however I was not around then to test it. >How-To-Repeat: Simply insert any 6.3 or 7.0 FreeBSD install disk into a machine with only SATA hard drives. Load into sysinstall and do a standard install. >Fix: There are a few references, one of them is a ticket opened in the past: kern/87585 A similar problem cropped into NetBSD, one (possible) solution was: http://archive.netbsd.se/?ml=netbsd-tech-kern&a=2004-11&m=494701 >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
