We've changed our ASUS CUV4X for a SOYO 7VBA 133. We went to our reseller office and they tryied boot using ASUS and SOYO. That HD had 3 partitions (ad0s1, ad0s2 and ad0s3) with FreeBSD 4.4-RELEASE and it didn't work using ASUS. Using SOYO it could boot on the same HD. Now our server is working fine and the hardware upgrade is completed. This server has got a 20GB (QUANTUM FIREBALL IDE) with FreeBSD 4.3-RELEASE and Celeron 700MHz. This server was upgraded because there was some unknown problem, some times is was rebooting. But now is working fine. In this server the fdisk reports: ******* Working on device /dev/ad0 ******* parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are: cylinders=39560 heads=16 sectors/track=63 (1008 blks/cyl) Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1 parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are: cylinders=39560 heads=16 sectors/track=63 (1008 blks/cyl) Media sector size is 512 Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1 Information from DOS bootblock is: The data for partition 1 is: sysid 165,(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD) start 63, size 204561 (99 Meg), flag 80 (active) beg: cyl 0/ sector 1/ head 1; end: cyl 202/ sector 63/ head 15 The data for partition 2 is: sysid 165,(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD) start 204624, size 3890880 (1899 Meg), flag 0 beg: cyl 203/ sector 1/ head 0; end: cyl 1023/ sector 63/ head 15 The data for partition 3 is: sysid 165,(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD) start 4095504, size 35780976 (17471 Meg), flag 0 beg: cyl 1023/ sector 63/ head 255; end: cyl 1023/ sector 63/ head 15 The data for partition 4 is: and dmesg reports: FreeBSD 4.3-RELEASE #2: Tue May 8 06:52:54 BRT 2001 Timecounter "i8254" frequency 1193182 Hz CPU: Pentium III/Pentium III Xeon/Celeron (701.60-MHz 686-class CPU) Origin = "GenuineIntel" Id = 0x686 Stepping = 6 Features=0x383f9ff real memory = 134217728 (131072K bytes) avail memory = 125562880 (122620K bytes) Preloaded elf kernel "kernel" at 0xc042e000.

We have been written to ASUS support but they don't answered yet. Thanks, Paulo.
