Default trouble syncing sata disks....

trying to install 5.2.1-RELEASE on a new system.

got the os installed, but it is running slow as all hell... no additional software was installed.

when i shut down i get something like
syncing disks: 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6...
giving up 6 buffers

when it comes up, it is of course marked unclean.

I had this same problem when tryint to boot into the sysintstall off of the floppies.

I flashed my RocketRaid 1640 to the newest bios, and then the problem stopped happening...

The driver freebsd is using for my raid is the same as the driver i used when i did the install (via floppies/ftp)...

What does one do from here?

I could be wrong, but I think all these random problems I've been having relate to this one:

Kernel thinks I have 2 cpu's?

I'm not sure if FreeBSD has to use a multi-CPU kernel to utilize the HyperThreading capabilities or not, mainly because I haven't really followed *BSD at all.

Are you running RAID 0 or RAID 1?
