Hi
I've got a Promise SATAII 150 TX2plus (pci) controller connected to my
Asus A7N8X Deluxe motherboard.
The drive in question is a Maxtor 6B200M0.
First of all, when the drive is connected I can't get any resent FreeBSD
boot cd to do anything but a "intsant reboot" - it starts to load, some
text flashes and the computer reboots.
When booting from floppies or with the drive disconnected (just
reconnect it when I get to the menu) I get this:
ad4: Maxtor 6B200M0 BANC1B70
ad4: 398297088 sectors [395136C/16H/63S] 16 sectors/intrupts 1 depth queue
ad4: Promise check1 failed
ad4: Adaptec check1 failed
ad4: LSI (v3) check1 failed
ad4: LSI (v2) check1 failed
ad4: FreeBSD check1 failed
GEOM: new disk ad4
Any ideas?
The drive passed all the Maxtor PowerMax tests..
Should I get a dmesg?
thanks,
ö
