Hello!

I'm trying to install 7.0 in a new HP Proliant ML110 G5.

This box has only 6 SATA connections (CD & HD are SATA),
not IDE interfaces.

FreeBSD 7.0 CD1 (i386) starts but stops with an error:

ad0: 238475MB <Seagate ST3250620NS 3BJP> at
ata0-master SATA150
acd0: DVDR <HL-DT-ST DVD-RAM GSA-H60L/E904) at
ata2-master SATA150
SMP: AP CPU #1 Launched!
acd0: TIMEOUT - READ_BIG retraying (1 retry left)
acd0: TIMEOUT - READ_BIG retraying (0 retries left)

acd0: TIMEOUT - READ_BIG retraying (0 retries left)
acd0: TIMEOUT - READ_BIG timed out

I tested other situations:
 
* Acer machine with CD SATA --------> Same problem.
* Other HP machine with IDE CD -----> No problem.
* HP Proliant ML110 G5 with
  FreeBSD 6.2 CD1 (i386) -----------> No problem.
 
I made a Google search and there are people with similar
problem:
 
http://www.google.com/search?q=acd0+TIMEOUT+READ
_BIG+freebsd+7.0
 
I tried to change my BIOS settings and/or use no-ACPI boot.
Same problem.

I went outside for more than one hour and when I returned
sysinstall was 
launched. So, retraying the CD unit for a longtime worked
(?).

I made my installation but I found two more problems:

* On-board NIC was not detected.

* shutdown -r now did'nt restart the system. The system was
blocked at:

All buffers synced. 
Uptime: 56m6s 

Any ideas? Thanks in advance,

Josep Pujadas
