Abit IP35...

[Jamie Bowden]

Good evening all,

I've been running FreeBSD since 1.1, and this is the first time I've
ever had hardware I couldn't manage to install on, but I upgraded my
desktop at home recently, and I can't get an install CD to boot on my
machine.

Hardware (output from Windows System Info):

IRQ 0	System timer	OK
IRQ 6	Standard floppy disk controller	OK
IRQ 8	System CMOS/real time clock	OK
IRQ 11	Intel(R) ICH9 Family SMBus Controller - 2930	OK
IRQ 13	Numeric data processor	OK
IRQ 16	Intel(R) G33/G31/P35 Express Chipset PCI Express Root Port - 29C1	OK
IRQ 16	Intel(R) ICH9 Family USB Universal Host Controller - 2937	OK
IRQ 16	Intel(R) ICH9 Family PCI Express Root Port 1 - 2940	OK
IRQ 17	High Definition Audio Controller	OK
IRQ 17	Intel(R) ICH9 Family PCI Express Root Port 2 - 2942	OK
IRQ 17	Standard Dual Channel PCI IDE Controller	OK
IRQ 18	Intel(R) ICH9 Family USB2 Enhanced Host Controller - 293C	OK
IRQ 18	Intel(R) ICH9 Family PCI Express Root Port 3 - 2944	OK
IRQ 18	Generic Marvell Yukon Chipset based Ethernet Controller	OK
IRQ 18	Intel(R) ICH9 Family USB Universal Host Controller - 2936	OK
IRQ 19	Intel(R) ICH9 Family USB Universal Host Controller - 2939	OK
IRQ 19	Intel(R) ICH9 Family USB Universal Host Controller - 2935	OK
IRQ 19	Intel(R) ICH9 4 port Serial ATA Storage Controller 1 - 2920	OK
IRQ 19	Intel(R) ICH9 2 port Serial ATA Storage Controller 2 - 2926	OK
IRQ 20	Texas Instruments OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Host Controller	OK
IRQ 21	Intel(R) ICH9 Family USB Universal Host Controller - 2938	OK
IRQ 21	Pinnacle WDM PCTV Video Capture	OK
IRQ 21	Pinnacle WDM PCTV Audio Capture	OK
IRQ 22	High Definition Audio Controller	OK
IRQ 22	Creative SB Audigy	OK
IRQ 23	Intel(R) ICH9 Family USB Universal Host Controller - 2934	OK
IRQ 23	Intel(R) ICH9 Family USB2 Enhanced Host Controller - 293A	OK
IRQ 23	OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Host Controller	OK
IRQ 80	Microsoft ACPI-Compliant System	OK

(IRQs 81 - 189 are identical to the prior and following entries)

IRQ 190	Microsoft ACPI-Compliant System	OK
IRQ 4294967294	ATI Radeon HD 2900 XT 	OK

Hard drives installed are :  Maxtor 6L200R0 ATA133, Maxtor 6Y080M0
SATA150, and a Seagate ST3250620AS SATA3.0Gb ( I have 20GB set aside
for FreeBSD on this drive).

Optical drives are : Pioneer DVR-107D ATA and a Plextor PX-716SA SATA

Processor : Intel E6700 (Core2 Duo 2.66Ghz)

Memory : Crucial Ballistix 2x1GB DDR800

The motherboard is an Abit IP35, and I've tried booting 7.0-BETA4,
6.3-RC3, and 6.2-R install CDs.  All of them hang in the same place,
while probing  UHCI2.  The keyboard is a Saitek Eclipse and the mouse
is a Logitech Mx 518.  I was using both of them prior to upgrading my
hardware without any problems.  I was tracking RELENG_6 previously.

I've tried setting the  SATA controller to AHCI and IDE mode, and it
hangs in the same place either way (not unexpected, since the kernel
hangs long before ever getting around to probing it).

I'm running Vista and planning to dual boot the machine (I'm running
Vista Ultimate and tracking RELENG_6 on my Latitude D820 with no
problems currently).

If anyone has any suggestions, I'm all ears.
