List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Mon, 31 Mar 2008 08:22:51 -0000 Hello! I'm trying to install 7.0 in a new HP Proliant ML110 G5. This box has only 6 SATA connections (CD & HD are SATA), not IDE interfaces. FreeBSD 7.0 CD1 (i386) starts but stops with an error: ad0: 238475MB at ata0-master SATA150 acd0: DVDR Same problem. * Other HP machine with IDE CD -----> No problem. * HP Proliant ML110 G5 with FreeBSD 6.2 CD1 (i386) -----------> No problem. * HP Proliant ML110 G5 with FreeBSD 6.3 CD1 (i386) -----------> No problem. I made a Google search and there are people with similar problem: http://www.google.com/search?q=acd0+TIMEOUT+READ_BIG+freebsd+7.0 I tried to change my BIOS settings and/or use no-ACPI boot. Same problem. I went outside for more than one hour and when I returned sysinstall was launched. So, retraying the CD unit for a longtime worked (?). I made my installation but I found two more problems: * On-board NIC was not detected: # dmesg | grep pci14 pci14: on pcib4 pci14: at device 0.0 (no driver attached) * shutdown -r now did'nt restart the system. The system was blocked at: All buffers synced. Uptime: 56m6s Same problem with NIC detection and machine reboot if I install 6.2 or 6.3 in this machine (ML110 G5). I have many ML110 G4 working with 6.2 without problems. Any ideas? Thanks in advance, Josep Pujadas
