Hi, one of the first things i did after i got my new MBP was to create a second partition and try to install FreeBSD, but so far i was unable to :-( I tried to boot 6.2-RELEASE, 7.0-RELEASE and the March 8-CURRENT snapshot, it didn't matter whether i tried amd64 or i386. The hang was always at the same place and there were no messages or whatsoever. After the DVD drive is recognized the kernel just hangs... I tried to set all the hw.ata. knobs to 0, tried safe mode from the loader, tried disabling acpi, apic, usb, firewire and so on, still no luck... I took a photo from a verbose boot with the 8-CURRENT snapshot in case it matters, it is available here: http://beast.solomo.de/~flo/sata-hang.jpg FWIW Linux recognizes the controller and the disk as follows: 00:1f.1 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801HBM/HEM (ICH8M/ICH8M-E) IDE Controller (rev 03) (prog-if 8f [Master SecP SecO PriP PriO]) 00:1f.2 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801HBM/HEM (ICH8M/ICH8M-E) SATA IDE Controller (rev 03) (prog-if 8f [Master SecP SecO PriP PriO]) lspci -vvv is available here: http://beast.solomo.de/~flo/lspci-v.txt ata3.00: ATA-8: Hitachi HTS542525K9SA00, BBFAC3GP, max UDMA/133 ata3.00: 488397168 sectors, multi 16: LBA48 NCQ (depth 0/32) ata3.00: configured for UDMA/133 Is there anything else i can do? Any hints would be appreciated. Cheers, FlorianReceived on Thu Mar 13 2008 - 14:05:52 UTC
