As I said: "This is a known bug in the SRC-U21 and SRC-U31 BIOS, for which there is no solution. You cannot use these controllers with FreeBSD." Is that good enough? If not, you will need to be reasonably familiar with the x86 architecture, in particular v86 mode and the various services offered by the BIOS for peripheral firmware, and then you should take the SRC-U21 BIOS and disassemble it around the code region(s) at which it will trap, and then you will understand. And even if you *did* fix it, there are no drivers for this family of controllers *anyway*. Now you are going to tell me that you bought these controllers and that you are upset, unhappy, etc. that FreeBSD won't work with them. Well, you should have read http://people.freebsd.org/~msmith/RAID first. > Dmitry. > > > On Thu, 29 Mar 2001, Mike Smith wrote: > > > Date: Thu, 29 Mar 2001 06:31:25 -0800 > > From: Mike Smith <msmith@FreeBSD.ORG> > > To: Dmitry Valdov <dv@dv.ru> > > Cc: stable@FreeBSD.ORG > > Subject: Re: problem booting 4.3-RC1 (BTX problem) > > > > > > This is a known bug in the SRC-U21 and SRC-U31 BIOS, for which there is > > no solution.
