AMD SB700 southbridge sata ahci supported?

[Gobbledegeek]

Hi

I install freebsd 7 i386 twice, installed mbr, both times boot loader
failed to load at 1st stage with cpu register values displayed on
screen.
Mobo - gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2H, AMD 780G chipset with ATI Radeon3200
IGP, cpu amd BE-2350, 2GB transcend DR2800 ram, barracuda hdd with
SATA in AHCI mode in bios.

I could not find this in the i386 or amd64 platform list.

Anyone has any ideas about support for this?

Try disabling USB in the BIOS:

Thanks for responding. My problem is different.I think it is in boot
stage 2 possibly a problem with the loader. Hence my problem does not
resemble yours. I am able to run the install disk just fine nd
complete installation. Its the installed Os that I cannot boot.

Kind Regards

Have you figured out a solution/work-around yet for this?

I have a GA-MA78G-DS3H, which also includes the 780G/SB700 chipset. I
DEFINITELY can't boot off a usb install of FreeBSD 7-RELEASE. Mine
won't get past the boot0 stage, and errors out with some BTX Error
(same error I get if I boot with dual CPUs under Xen.. maybe
related?). Same thing will happen if I boot from hard disk with USB-
boot storage enabled in the bios AND a usb stick plugged in. Haven't
had a chance to try any of this with 7-STABLE yet as I just compiled
it last night.

I've tried various bios configurations to see if I can resolve it -
disabling audio, firewire, onboard LAN, etc with 0 luck. It'll be nice
when this gets looked at/resolved
