Hi there,
I have a problem with the USB controller of my board (GA-73PVM-S2H, nforce 630i chipset) under 8.0-RELEASE.
Whenever I want to create a new fs on an external hard drive (using newfs), the process hangs after a second or so and I cannot do anything except unplugging the drive. (Then I'll return to the prompt immediately, device lost...)
I plugged a different USB controller (VIA chipset) into an empty PCI slot on my board and tried again, using this one, and everything went well and without any problems.
As I encountered another strange issue when trying to install 8.0 from USB (the copy process was sloooow as hell after a while, it was unbearable...), I figure that 8.0-RELEASE seems to have some severe problems with nforce 630i chipsets.
Has anyone made a similar experience or maybe a hint for me how to find a workaround for this?
It feels so incomplete so be dependent on a secondary USB controller. x(
