Re: Intel 6300ESB SATA - Now Tyan B5350G20S2H-LC

Well,

Good and bad news...

6.1-RC works to install (thanks Soren)

But BTX halt on boot:

BTX halted

FYI: I failed to find the code at cs:eip in the boot0, boot1, boot2 and loader file. Looks like a bad jump to me.

I've try everything... (I know of)

. Upgrade the BIOS (can't find a way to upgrade the Tyan M8110 board)
. Boot on array (failed)
. Boot on a spare drive outside the array (failed)
. Booted install, used the LiveCD and the filesystems are fine... boot files checksum matches
. Changed fs from 4GB=swap, 232GB=/ to 256MB=/boot, 222GB=/, 4GB=swap (failed)

Going to try booting the kernel from PXE and then mounting /dev/ar0s1a...

If anybody has a hint (or Hints) let me know...
