Problem installing FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE on HighPoint RocketRAID 1520
I've aquired a HighPoint RocketRAID 1520 SATA controller card, since it's supposed to be very well supported under FreeBSD. Unfortunately i can't seem to install FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE. As a matter of fact, the installation CD fails to boot. My two disks are Seagate Barracuda 120 GB, and my motherboard is an Asus A7N8X Deluxe (nForce2). Verbose boot gives me this output, just before everything hangs. ata0-master: pio=PIO4 wdma=wdma2 udma=UDMA133 cable=40 wire ad4: setting PIO4 on HighPoint chip ad4: 114473MB <Seagate ST3120026AS 3.05> at ata2-master UDMA133 ad4: 234441648 sectors [232581C/16H/635] 16 sectors/interrupt 1 depth queue ad4: HighPoint (v3) check1 failed ad4: HighPoint (v2) check1 failed ad4: Adaptec check1 failed ad4: LSI (v3) check1 failed ad4: LSI (v2) check1 failed ad4: FreeBSD check1 failed ata1-master: pio=PIO4 wdma=wdma2 udma=UDMA133 cable=40 wire ad6: setting PIO4 on HighPoint chip ad6: 114473MB <Seagate ST3120026AS 3.05> at ata2-master UDMA133 ad6: 234441648 sectors [232581C/16H/635] 16 sectors/interrupt 1 depth queue ad6: HighPoint (v3) check1 failed ad6: HighPoint (v2) check1 failed ad6: Adaptec check1 failed ad6: LSI (v3) check1 failed ad6: LSI (v2) check1 failed ad6: FreeBSD check1 failed GEOM: new disk ad4 GEOM: new disk ad6 Hopefully this is enough information to diagnose my problem. I would very much appreciate any help I can get. /Ilja Alaoja

I have a similar problem with a different nForce2 based motherboard (Abit NF-7S v2) and HighPoint card (RocketRAID 1640), which I logged in PR 89409. Disabling ACPI is a work-around that has been very effective in my case.
