Problems installing FreeBSD 5.4

[Hernán Nicolás Taboada]

Hi everybody!

I'm having problems trying the Default installation (booting from the
CD-ROM) of FreeBSD 5.4 Release in a HP ProLiant ML150 G2 server
<http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/servers/proliantml150/>, with two Maxtor
MaXLine
<http://www.maxtor.com/en/products/ata/enterprise_applications/maxline_plus_
ii/> SATA drives, configured as RAID-1 with an Intel RAID Controller SRCS14L
<http://www.intel.com/design/servers/buildingblocks/srcs14l/>. The following
error message appears:

ata0-master: FAILURE-ATAPI_IDENTIFY timed out
ata0-master: FAILURE-ATAPI_IDENTIFY timed out
ata0-master: FAILURE-ATAPI_IDENTIFY timed out
Waiting 15 seconds for SCSI to settle
 (and it hangs forever)

In the other hand, I've tried the Safe Mode installation, but when i finish
and reboot, it mess up the array.

I've readed this previous postings:

I'd love to recieve any comment/suggestion in order to accomplish a normal
installation process.

Thank you very much in advance!
