Well not all D610's are created equally. I work in
the Caterpillar IT dept. and even our orders from one
week to another differ. The one I am using has a SATA
controller (ICH6M) with ATI pci-x video. Is this what
you are using? As far as the setup I am doing a
simple one slice system and setting is active. And I
check it on vc4 and it shows active. I am also just
doing a minimal install so I dont understand what
could be different than the many other installs. I
had it on a Dell D600 with no problems, but it was
PATA. Although I dont know why SATA would cause an
issue as I know FBSD to have great SATA support. How
can I get the dmesg info for you from sysinstall/vc4?
I really appreciate your assistance.
Thank you,
Dean.
