Here is some additional info: Hardware supported by FB-9 http://www.freebsd.org/releases/9.0R/hardware.html ... The ahc(4) driver supports the following SCSI host adapter chips and SCSI controller cards: ... Adaptec AIC7896 host adapter chip ... ahc(4) driver: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=ahc&sektion=4&manpath=FreeBSD+9.0-RELEASE Read it. On my FB-9: $ kldstat -v |grep -i ahc 55 ahc 52 pci/ahc_pci 51 isa/ahc_isa 50 eisa/ahc_eisa 48 pci/ahci 47 atapci/ahci 46 ahci/ahcich 72 pci/ata_ahci 71 atapci/ata_ahci_ata So, the kernel includes the drivers. Also: $ sysctl -a | grep -i ahc options AHC_REG_PRETTY_PRINT device ahci device ahc dev.ahci.0.%desc: Intel ICH8M AHCI SATA controller dev.ahci.0.%driver: ahci dev.ahci.0.%location: slot=31 function=2 handle=\_SB_.PCI0.SATA dev.ahci.0.%pnpinfo: vendor=0x8086 device=0x2829 subvendor=0x17aa subdevice=0x20a7 class=0x010601 dev.ahci.0.%parent: pci0 dev.ahcich.0.%desc: AHCI channel dev.ahcich.0.%driver: ahcich dev.ahcich.0.%location: channel=0 dev.ahcich.0.%parent: ahci0 dev.ahcich.1.%desc: AHCI channel dev.ahcich.1.%driver: ahcich dev.ahcich.1.%location: channel=2 dev.ahcich.1.%parent: ahci0 Do what I said in previous post - look at BIOS and get dmesg from Linux live CD (it may show a hint about something specific on controller/driver or hd, or cause of trouble if it does not boot with Linux too). jb
