Hello 4 all,
I was starting to install FreeBSD 5.3 into 42 computers where I work as workstations when just at first installation i've got this uncommon problem. When kernel is finishing to load some messages like this appears:
ata0-master : FAILURE ATA-IDENTIFY timed out
After that, the installation program doesn't find any drive or partition to install. So, it's impossible to continue. When I tried to install again booting with Safe option, the installation program detects the drive but complain about its geometry, so I was in doubt to continue. This makes me think twice too soon (my first of 42 installations) if it's a good idea to migrate from Windows to FreeBSD here at my company, where FreeBSD has already been servicing the network infrastructure.
The computer in question has a Soyo P4VGA-2AP1 motherboard with chipset VIA Apollo P4M266A and HD Samsung SP0411N.
Thanks in advance, Julián Herrera _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
