amd64/97019: Cannot load the kernel after installation on Supermicro H8DAR-T

Tue May 23 18:36:07 PDT 2006

To whom it may concern:

I was informed to make a post regarding problem report 97019 (http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=97019.) According to my experiences, both i386 and am64 installations 
produce the same result. Although the workaround works perfectly, I suppose this post needs to get done.

Before I start on the details, I need to clarify the problem report a tad.

Before:

Fix
    1) Load fixit image with installation cd-rom and switch to holographic shell (CTRL-ALT-F4)
    2) mount /dev/ad4s1a to any directory of your choice (e.g. mount /dev/ad4s1a /mnt.) 
    2) copy /dist/kernels/install.sh to the above partition just mounted.
    3) edit the install.sh and change the line that says /$[some variable]-/boot to the newely mounted parition /boot (e.g. /mnt/boot)
    4) change to the /dist/kernels directory and run the install.sh from your mounted drive with kernel kernel arguments (e.g. cd /dist/kernels && /mnt/install.sh kernel kernel)

After corrections made:

Fix
    1) Load fixit image with installation cd-rom and switch to holographic shell (CTRL-ALT-F4)
    2) mount /dev/ad4s1a to any directory of your choice (e.g. mount /dev/ad4s1a /mnt.) 
    3) env DESTDIR=/mnt /dist/6.1-RELEASE/kernels/install.sh GENERIC
    4) mv /mnt/boot/GENERIC /mnt/boot/kernel
    5) umount /mnt
    6) reboot

Some details:

Motherboard is Supermicro.
The model is H8DAR-T (taken directly from motherboard)
It has the Marvel SATA Controller with a 250 Gigabyte Western Digital Hard Drive.
Attached are the output files for the 'pciconf -l -v' and 'dmesg' commands.

I apologize for any errors (on my part) or if I have missed anything. Just let me know.
