Hello,
I have been having troubles installing the amd64 platform on an Intel
S5000pal system with the SRCS16 Raid controller using Raid 5 with 5 *
500gig drives.
In order to get it to install I had to split the raid setup into two
logical arrays. I guess it was too close to the 2TB limit as it was
giving me read sector error when booting.
However I now have it booting but it gets stuck at the
Attempting to mount / (the root partition).
This goes on for like 20 minutes and then it finally proceeds. This
seems odd and clearly is a problem to mount the small / root
partition that is only a few gigs big.
Does anyone have an idea what is going on here?
I also noticed it with adding a user it added the user but got stuck
for like 10 minutes before proceeding.
This system has 16GIG of ram using the amd64 platform and has 2 dual
core cps running.
I installed the centos just to see if there were any problems with
this operating system (in case this was hardware related) but it
worked 100% without any fuss. The problem is I want to use Freebsd :)
So I do not believe this is hardware related.
If anyone reading this has set up a S5000PAL system can they let me
know what settings they used to have a successful installation?
Thanks
Paul
