Problems with SATA 2 hard disk while installing FreeBSD 6.1 RELEASE AMD 64
Hi, I'm trying to install FreeBSD 6.1 RELEASE AMD 64 on a new computer I bought, it has a ECS C51GM motherboard, with one SATA 2 hard disk, and an AMD Athlon 64 4200+ X2 on socket AM2. When I boot with the install CD, it crashes before starting the sysinstall, just after it finishes showing the details about the DVD writer, which I presume happens when it's checking for hard disks. I managed to get sysinstall to start when I booted it up in safe mode, but then when I tried to install FreeBSD, it said no hard disks detected. I hope someone can help me to figure out how to install FreeBSD 6.1 RELEASE AMD 64. Here are more details about the motherboard: Motherboard Name: ECS C51GM Chipset Name NVIDIA GeForce 6100 & nForce 410 CPU Socket Type Socket AM2 Form Factor Micro ATX CPU Compatibility All AMD Socket AM2 Memory FSB DDR2 667/533 Memory Slots 2 Max Memory 16GB PCI 16X 1 PCI 1X 1 PCI 2 Integrated Graphics Geforce 6100 based 2d/3d engine IDE 2 UltraDMA 133/100/66 Connectors SATA 2 RAID Level Raid 0,1 Support Audio Realtek AL655 6-channel audio LAN Broadcom AC131 10/100 USB 2 internal, 4 external USB Speed 2.0 ___ All new Yahoo!

Thanks a lot Angelo, your advice really helped. I downloaded the FreeBSD 6.2 BETA 2 AMD 64 Install ISO (disc 1), which was no problem, it only took me 4 minutes with my connection, anyway, FreeBSD 6.2 BETA 2 AMD 64 detected my SATA 2 hard disk, and installed without any problems, unlike FreeBSD 6.1 RELEASE AMD 64 which crashed when it was searching for my SATA2 hard disk, but downloading 6.1 wasn't a waste either, because 6.2 BETA2 didn't have a big package ISO, disc 2, (only 30 something MB) so I used the packages from FreeBSD 6.1 which seemed to be compatible, because KDE, GNOME, and every other packages I installed worked. I'm so happy that I can use FreeBSD, on this new computer, I really noticed a big improvement in performance, in the AMD 64 version, and it also detected the dual core processor and used both the processors. My only problem now is figuring out how to get the Realtek AL655 6-channel onboard audio and Broadcom AC131 10/100 onbaord LAN working so I can connect to the Internet on FreeBSD with the router, like I used to on my old computer. ___ Try the all-new Yahoo!

Nevermind, I figured it out on my own, for the sound I installed the snd_ich module su cd /sys/modules/sound/driver/ich/ make make install make load edit /boot/defaults/loader.conf and change the line that says snd_ich_load="NO" to snd_ich_load="YES" So the sound drivers are loaded every time you reboot. And for the LAN I installed the nve module: su cd /sys/modules/nve/ make make install make load edit /boot/defaults/loader.conf and change the line that says if_nve_load="NO" to if_nve_load="YES" So the LAN drivers are loaded every time you reboot. In the shell, then type: sysinstall Go to Configure -> Networking -> and check Gateway and NFS Client, then check Interfaces -> nve0, and when it asks if you want it to configure DHCP and some other stuff, select yes. This is for if you connect to the internet with a router which you connect to your LAN card or onboard LAN with an ethernet cable. I hope this information helps out people having the same problem.

You could try using an ISO editing program to edit the FreeBSD ISO cd image, to add your own kernel. Or you could try using "The FreeBSD LiveCD Project": http://livecd.sourceforge.net/ As far as I know you can make your own FreeBSD live cd, and it lets you customize it the way you want.
