When installing 10.0 beta 2 on a P4PE motherboard with a fasttrack 376 (Promise PDC20376) SATA 1 controller, the install does not correctly detect/set up the disk slices under /etc. An fdisk /ada0 does return the correct geometry but this is not recognised by the install. It is necessary to do a kern.geom.raid.enable=0 to disable geom. To get a single SATA disk working on the P4PE, it is necessary to use the RAID BIOS to create a single disk 'stripe'. This may be confusing FreeBSD. Manually loading the mirror or stripe modules before kernel boot does not help. pciconf -lv hostb0@pci0:0:0:0: class=0x060000 card=0x80b21043 chip=0x25608086 rev=0x02 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Intel Corporation' device = '82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE/PE DRAM Controller/Host-Hub Interface' class = bridge subclass = HOST-PCI pcib1@pci0:0:1:0: class=0x060400 card=0x00000000 chip=0x25618086 rev=0x02 hdr=0x01 vendor = 'Intel Corporation' device = '82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE/PE Host-to-AGP Bridge' class = bridge subclass = PCI-PCI uhci0@pci0:0:29:0: class=0x0c0300 card=0x80891043 chip=0x24c28086 rev=0x02 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Intel Corporation' device = '82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) USB UHCI Controller' class = serial bus subclass = USB uhci1@pci0:0:29:1: class=0x0c0300 card=0x80891043 chip=0x24c48086 rev=0x02 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Intel Corporation' device = '82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) USB UHCI Controller' class = serial bus subclass = USB uhci2@pci0:0:29:2: class=0x0c0300 card=0x80891043 chip=0x24c78086 rev=0x02 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Intel Corporation' device = '82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) USB UHCI Controller' class = serial bus subclass = USB ehci0@pci0:0:29:7: class=0x0c0320 card=0x80891043 chip=0x24cd8086 rev=0x02 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Intel Corporation' device = '82801DB/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-M) USB2 EHCI Controller' class = serial bus subclass = USB pcib2@pci0:0:30:0: class=0x060400 card=0x00000000 chip=0x244e8086 rev=0x82 hdr=0x01 vendor = 'Intel Corporation' device = '82801 PCI Bridge' class = bridge subclass = PCI-PCI isab0@pci0:0:31:0: class=0x060100 card=0x00000000 chip=0x24c08086 rev=0x02 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Intel Corporation' device = '82801DB/DBL (ICH4/ICH4-L) LPC Interface Bridge' class = bridge subclass = PCI-ISA atapci1@pci0:0:31:1: class=0x01018a card=0x80891043 chip=0x24cb8086 rev=0x02 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Intel Corporation' device = '82801DB (ICH4) IDE Controller' class = mass storage subclass = ATA pcm0@pci0:0:31:5: class=0x040100 card=0x80b01043 chip=0x24c58086 rev=0x02 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Intel Corporation' device = '82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller' class = multimedia subclass = audio vgapci0@pci0:1:0:0: class=0x030000 card=0x215c1682 chip=0x022110de rev=0xa1 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'NVIDIA Corporation' device = 'NV44A [GeForce 6200]' class = display subclass = VGA none0@pci0:2:3:0: class=0x0c0010 card=0x808a1043 chip=0x30441106 rev=0x80 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'VIA Technologies, Inc.' device = 'VT6306/7/8 [Fire II(M)] IEEE 1394 OHCI Controller' class = serial bus subclass = FireWire atapci0@pci0:2:4:0: class=0x010400 card=0x809e1043 chip=0x3376105a rev=0x02 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Promise Technology, Inc.' device = 'PDC20376 (FastTrak 376)' class = mass storage subclass = RAID bfe0@pci0:2:5:0: class=0x020000 card=0x80a81043 chip=0x440114e4 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Broadcom Corporation' device = 'BCM4401 100Base-T' class = network subclass = ethernet dmesg Copyright (c) 1992-2013 The FreeBSD Project.
