Somewhere in the BIOS settings should be an option to switch the SATA controller to AHCI, maybe this helps. On most computers this setting defaults to P-ATA mode, which is a slower compatibility mode and is needed for an other OS to work. bye Fabian Hello, I have also encountered the same problem. The system is: Acer Aspire AM1640-U1401A I have tried to install the following versions of FreeBSD and the installer said that it could not find the SATA disk. - FreeBSD 7.0 Release - FreeBSD 6.2 Release - FreeBSD 6.1 Release I installed Ubuntu 8.04.1 and here is the SATA information: /*** Begin transcript ***/ [ 22.014002] scsi0 : ahci [ 22.014087] scsi1 : ahci [ 22.014150] scsi2 : ahci [ 22.014186] scsi3 : ahci [ 22.014275] ata1: SATA max UDMA/133 abar m8192@0xfea7c000 port 0xfea7c100 irq 508 [ 22.014278] ata2: SATA max UDMA/133 abar m8192@0xfea7c000 port 0xfea7c180 irq 508 [ 22.014280] ata3: SATA max UDMA/133 abar m8192@0xfea7c000 port 0xfea7c200 irq 508 [ 22.014283] ata4: SATA max UDMA/133 abar m8192@0xfea7c000 port 0xfea7c280 irq 508 [ 22.652562] ata1: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl 300) [ 22.653166] ata1.00: ATA-7: ST3250410AS, 3.AAF, max UDMA/133 [ 22.653171] ata1.00: 488397168 sectors, multi 16: LBA48 NCQ (depth 0/32) [ 22.653885] ata1.00: configured for UDMA/133 /*** End transcript ***/ I was not able to find AHCI in the BIOS to enable. regards, joseph Can the issue be still reproduced with the latest FreeBSD versions? ahci(4) driver may work better than the legacy ata driver in your case. -- Andriy Gapon State Changed From-To: open->feedback Note that submitter has been asked for feedback.
