Hi Kimmo, > My ASUS PSCH-SR/SATA won't work in FreeBSD versions over 4.x. I have > tested 5.x, 6.x and even a current 7.x one. Try disabling the RAID BIOS; I have an ASUS PCH-DR which shows exactly the same behaviour. Once I got rid of the on-board Promise RAID (Just removing the drives did the trick), it would no longer install its BIOS then and things would work perfectly. I had exactly the same symptoms you describe (overwriting screen charachters, freezes etc). Seems to me the RAID BIOS is broken in same way. However, I have not yet found a way to upgrade it. Linux worked in my case as well, but it does not seem to support the RAID out-of-box (I couldn't get it to work with a vanilla kernel, anyway), which hints even stronger that it is the cause of the evil... no clue why FreeBSD 4.x works, though. Good luck, let me know if this works. -- Rink P.W. Springer - http://rink.nu "Richter: Tribute? You steal men's souls, and make them your slaves!
