Per advise of several people, I purchased a Promise SATA controller (TX4) for FreeBSD-5. I installed the card today, plugged the drives in (in the correct slots and order), and the system fails to boot. Particularly, when you try to boot from the CD's, this (large) error is displayed and the system halts. The system runs a SOYO Dragon Platinum motherboard, which has the on-board Silicon Image controller (which I had working before, BTW). I'm hoping someone here can decode this, as it took quite a long time to hand-write down and type in: Building the boot loader arguments Looking up /BOOT/LOADER... Found Relocating the loader and the BTX Starting the BTX loader BTX loader 1.00 BTX version is 1.01 Console: internal video/keyboard BIOS CD is cd0 BIOS drive A: is disk0 int=0000000d err=000045e4 efl=00010046 eip=0000925b eax=00000000 ebx=00000000 ecx=0000feff edx=0000fe04 esi=0000000c edi=00000000 ebp=00000000 esp=000017e0 cs=0008 ds=0010 es=0000 fs=0000 gs=0000 ss=0010 cs:eip 1f 0f a1 0f a9 cf fc 6a-10 1f 60 89 e5 0f b7 7d 2c 01 e7 04 8b 75 28 01-fe 31 c9 b1 02 31 c0 ac ss:esp=e6 45 00 00 00 00 00 00-00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00-00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 As far as I can tell there is no conflict with the motherboard/BIOS. I tried to disable the on-board SATA (set to IDE only) and that made no difference. It's a separate bus. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks....Received on Wed May 19 2004 - 20:16:39 UTC
