Description Erik Power 2005-06-01 14:30:02 UTC
The default kernel included with the 5.4-RELEASE amd64 distribution does not
see hard drives attached via the Intel ICH5R SATA/ATA controller. Workaround is
to boot using safe mode during install and when booting default kernel. After
compiling a kernel, ata(4) works fine and the system boots normally. SMP kernel
installed and working. LAN, audio, USB working. ZCR not tested (no driver for
Adaptec 2010-S), AIC7902 U320 SCSI not tested. Chipset is Intel E7525
(Tumwater), socket is dual 604-pin FC-mPGA.

Fix: 

If using a SATA drive, boot using safe mode until you get a kernel compiled
using the latest source. Normal booting works fine after installing a custom
kernel.
