      Yes, it's 8.3. Trying to load FreeBSD 8.3 would be informative.

      Seeing no drives or drive controllers can usually be rectified by trying a different mode though.

        @garthk:

        Not much response so I'm wondering if this has been tried by anyone. If not, is a mirrored install still supported in 2.1?

        I can confirm that mirroring still works in 2.1, at least with the hardware I'm using. I upgraded from 2.0.3, and it went smoothly. gmirror status reports that my RAID is "COMPLETE" and all 3 drives are "ACTIVE".

          garthk,

          can you boot your clean 2.0.1 install, go to Diagnostics, Command Prompt, and in the top box type dmesg and execute, then paste the results here?
          (and since I no longer have 2.0.1 boxes, and can't remember if that menu is there or not, you may just need to go to http://ip.of.your.pfsense/exec.php)

          It may help to determine what is going on.

          My gmirror setup survived the upgrade no problem, I doubt its the mirror that is the problem, but a driver problem.

            Sure can and I appreciate the responses. Note that this install is not mirrored since I was trying to test with a single drive to see if that made a difference (it didn't). If I need to rebuild using a mirror, let me know and I can do that. BTW, the install for 2.1 did not give me the option to set up a mirror during install. No big surprise, I guess, since it didn't see any drives.

            Thanx again,
            Garth

              So to confirm, you have two 80GB SATA drives and they're both on the same channel?

              Since you are using SATA drives this suggests even more strongly (to me) that changing the SATA mode in the bios could be the solution. Unless you've already tried that.  ;)

                Correct but I have not tried changing the bios settings yet. To be clear, I will change a setting in the bios back to AHCI if not already set to that and retest, attempting a clean 2.1install.

                Thanx,
                Garth

                  That's exactly what I would do.  :)
                  AHCI is now the recommended setting for SATA drives.

                    The controller is listed as SATA-2 but there is no option anywhere in the bios settings that references AHCI. This box may just be too old?

                    Thanx,

                      Hmm, yes P4 would have been at the very beginning of the SATA era. Some of those early SATA controllers can give all sorts of problems, especially those that used separate on-board chips from some other company. I have a box here that will not boot Linux from it's SATA drive no matter what I do to it. Your SATA controller seems to be part of the ICH7 chipset so I would expect better support. Are you on the latest BIOS? Separate SATA firmware?

                        It appears that the Dell SC430 BIOS does not have the option of setting AHCI as discussed in this link: http://rants.atmurray.net/2009/06/sata-ahci-mode-on-systems-without-bios.html.

                        There is a Linux hack to modify the grub loader but I would have no idea how to do that in FreeBSD.

                        Probably time to virtualize pfSense or find another box to run it on.

                        Note: I just saw you latest post and, while I normally keep the BIOS up-to-date, I'll check to see if there is a newer one.

                        Thanx,
                        Garth

                          Well, I moved to a newer box and I can state that 2.1 installs successfully using a mirrored config.

                          Thanx for all the help,
                          Garth
