|
| Posted by cywkevin, 07-12-2007, 04:17 PM | | Is the disk being picked picked up by the BIOS? If not try setting the jumper to hard set the speed of the drive according to the manufacturer's instructions. I've had to do that to get SATA drives to work with flakey motherboards.

| Posted by masterbb, 07-12-2007, 04:19 PM | | i don't know what my controller is. i'm using ASUS P5S800-VM mainboard. i'm connecting the sata cable to mainboard directly. how can i learn the type of my controller?
|
| Posted by masterbb, 07-12-2007, 04:21 PM | | what do you mean with picked up? bios see the drive. i have tried debian. debian setup recognized my sata harddisk. but freebsd setup don't.

| Posted by masterbb, 07-12-2007, 05:24 PM | | i looked bios and my controller is "OnChip SATA Controller", and "Raid Mode" selected.

| Posted by choon, 07-12-2007, 06:11 PM | | Have you try to disable onboard RAID setting (disable all onboard RAID if any) and proceed to do the installation of FreeBSD?
|
| Posted by masterbb, 07-12-2007, 06:28 PM | | hi. thanks. i changed sata controller to native mode from raid mode. now the setup recognized the harddisk. there is there section, "disabled, native mode, raid mode" which one do you suggest? should i turn it to disabled from native mode? what are this options for? which one is secure?
thanks again.

| Posted by choon, 07-12-2007, 06:30 PM | | It is up to you as long as it is not in raid mode I guess
|
| Posted by masterbb, 07-12-2007, 08:36 PM | | There is a new problem.
After fdisk, while starting to install system, i take this errors:
/: create/symlink failed, no inodes free
And then;
Couldn't create directory /usr/compat: No space left on device.
My 320 GB Sata Drive's partitions as that:
100GB /
80GB /server
100GB /usr
15 GB SWAP
Waiting for your help.

| Posted by choon, 07-12-2007, 08:54 PM | | You created slices with one partition on the whole disk or each slice is in its own partition? 15GB SWAP Why don't you try to use express/expert install option with default partition scheme from the FreeBSD installation to test whether is there any problem? If there is no problem then it is your installation method which has problem :p If there is problem, then maybe it is your installer cd issue (did you check your downloaded iso checksum before burn to CD?) or something else... ...
