Subject:   Adaptec 3940UWD -- No BIOS banner at Boot
Message-ID:  <20020419065656.A477@nexus>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
Hello all,

I have just put a Adaptec 3940UWD (AIC-7880 based) into my PIII-550
running on an ASUS P3BF mainboard. The card works fine in FreeBSD and
Windows once the OS has taken control, but on the machines I have
tried it on, there is no Adaptec BIO banner at the boot time, and as a
result, the system cannot be booted via this card.

I have tried everything from flashing up my M/B BIOS to trying every
option in the BIOS config.

I understand that this is not really FreeBSD related, as the problem
occurs before it even starts, but I'm grasping at straws here...  ;)

Many thanks in advance. 

The dmesg are appended below:
