I'm pretty sure no-one's sitting on IRQ 14, so I have to hope it's the cables. The disk's only about 18 months old, it can't be dead already :-( (Would BIOS disk power down settings cause this? I think they caused timeouts before[1], but it was only a single line I used to see for them. I haven't seen it for wd2, which takes ages to start up, so it probably isn't this.) I've seen no other problems with this disk, so I'll just hope it isn't too serious. [1] before what I don't know, probably before upgrading to -current, but I don't see them anymore. -- Ben Smithurst ben@scientia.demon.co.uk To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
