I have new Dell XPS 8940 that came with Windows 10 Home installed. I have
created two partitions for FreeBSD, one on its NMVe 256GB SSD, and one on
its WD 1TB HD.
For now, I have 12.2-RELEASE-p4 GENERIC on a USB memstick, so I can do
some limited testing.
FreeBSD 12.2 does not recognize the SATA/RAID controller, which I assume
is resposible (in Win10) for accising both drives.
The relevant pcoconf line for the controlleris:
none7@pci0:0:23:0: class=0x010400 card=0x09c51028 chip=0x06d68086 rev=0x00
hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Intel Corporation'
class = mass storage
subclass = RAID
Because no net devices work (for FreeBSD), I put a pcie-x1 net card in the
machine to get access, 15 bucks to Ebay, works great. I can't get the
NVIDIA graphics card to work right, but that and the net devices are
issues for sometime later.
Here is a URL for info I collected from the machine, including from the
hw-probe utility:
http://home.hiwaay.net/~kldunn/XPS_8940_info.html
That has a link for the results of hw-probe, the outputs of pciconf -lv
and dmesg, and the content of /var/log/messages and rc.conf.
The hw-probe report claims that Linux supports the SATA/RAID controller in
'drivers/ata/ahci.c', but that no version of FreeBSD knows about it (yet).
I think FreeBSD might need a patch to sys/dev/ahci/ahci_pci.c, and maybe
some other files too.
Can somebody help me with disk access?
