X6DA8-G2 Intel E7525 / 2x 604-pin FC-mPGA4 Functional Erik Power 5.4-RELEASE The default kernel included with the 5.4-RELEASE amd64 distribution does not see hard drives attached via the Intel ICH5R SATA/ATA controller. Workaround is to boot using safe mode during install and when booting default kernel. After compiling a kernel, ata(4) works fine and the system boots normally. SMP kernel installed and working. LAN, audio, USB working. ZCR not tested (no driver for Adaptec 2010-S), AIC7902 U320 SCSI not tested.
