How to check it ? When I bought my Asus P4G8X with sil3112 the support for
this chipset was not in current at all. Ok .. sil3112 appears to be crappy,
bad luck ...
I bought now asus p4p800 and again for example it has vt6410 on board,
also no support for this chipset in current , ok , forget it .. lets use
ICH5
was running ok with 4 hdd in it .. after I add scsi controller .. crash
crash and crash.
Ok, I have changed the mobo to asus p4g8x , I disabled sil3112 controller,
I put 2 ide drives + 2 scsi drives.. looks like working, now I just add old
hardware:
promise ultra100 controller with 2 ide drives connected to it ... bum -
again crash.
I like freebsd, I do, but it's really hard time to find working hardware
with 5.2..
