Make sure that you have AHCI mode enabled in BIOS. ahci(4) driver should attach to any hardware that reporting AHCI compatibility via PCI class/subclass. Supermicro AOC-SAT2-MV8 - is not AHCI compatible. New driver for it named mvs(4). It was merged to 8-STABLE just a few weeks ago. You may update your system and try it. -- Alexander Motin _______________________________________________ freebsd-bugs@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-bugs To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-bugs-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
