Hi,

I tried to install FreBSD 9.0 amd64 from a memory stick and it did not detect any of my SATA3.0 hard drives except actual 8Gb stick. The same mem stick detects fine SATA2 hdds on older machine.

Any suggestions?


******* My hardware:

hard drives:

Western Digital Caviar® Green 2TB SATA 6Gb/s, (SATA 3.0), RPM = IntelliPower, 64MB, 3.5"
Western Digital Caviar® Blue 500GB SATA 6Gb/s (SATA 3.0), 16MB, 7200RPM, 3.5"

the rest:

Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3, Socket-AM3+ ATX, 970+SB950, DDR3, 2xPCIe(2.0)x16, SATA 6Gb/s, USB 3.0, FW

AMD FX-6200 6-Core Processor Socket- AM3+, 3.8Ghz, 125W, 6MB L2 + 8MB L3 Cache, 32nm

8Gb RAM in total: Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600MHz 4GB CL9
Video: Gainward GeForce GT 430 1GB PhysX CUDA PCI-Express 2.0, GDDR3, DVI, native-HDMI, 535MHz, 64bit


regards,
 Alexander
