Re: FreeBSD > 4.11 hardware issue with Asus PSCH-SR/SATA mobo

I have now tried the last thing of what you suggested (other than the
cable thing) -- I pulled the S-ATA cable and disabled it in BIOS. Same
error.

Since a chassis fan I ordered together with a chassis and a PSU seems
to be out of stock, I might be able to tell that store to send it later
together with the precious console cable (yes, I cannot decide what to
call it!). Assuming they keep those cables...

Somehow, I strongly suspect that the output in the end of the cable
will be the same as on my screen.

This is the most expensive motherboard I have ever bought, being all
made for servers and stuff. I am totally broke now, and the ironic part
is that I depend on this machine for my new commerical project(s). My
old server simply doesn't have the processing power (800 MHz VIA C3)
for them. This is why this is more than just an annoyance and me being
impatient...
