IBM xSeries 226 Help needed
Hi, I'm having problems with an IBM xSeries 226 system. It has a SATA disk in it, and when booting with FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE, it does not detect any drives. If I boot in safe mode, however it can see the disk just fine as ad4 and I can install the OS on it. I tried turning on/off ACPI but that didn't help either. Why does it work okay in safe mode but not normal mode? Verbose booting in normal mode says this about the ATA controllers, so I'm assuming it is actually seeing the CDROM and the disk: ata0: reset tp2 stat0=00 stat1=00 devices=0x4ATAPI_MASTER ata1: reset tp2 stat0=01 stat1=01 devices=0x0 ata2: reset tp2 stat0=50 stat1=00 devices=0x1ATAPI_MASTER ata3: reset tp2 stat0=ff stat1=00 devices=0x0 ata0 and ata2 are reinitted a couple more times, then it can't find any filesystems to mount. --- Andrew ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hey, that worked! So what gives? Is this a hardware specific issue with this machine? -- Andrew -Original Message- From: Norberto Meijome [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, April 11, 2006 11:25 To: Webster, Andrew Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: IBM xSeries 226 Help needed On Tue, 11 Apr 2006 10:24:26 -0400 Webster, Andrew [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: If I boot in safe mode, however it can see the disk just fine as ad4 and I can install the OS on it. try disabling apic? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Is this a hardware specific issue with this machine? i dont think so - i've had several cases when disabling APIC got things working... not sure precisely WHY, but it does. I would like appreciate some enlightenment, even in the form of RTFM(with pointer to TFM) ;) cheers!! ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
