I managed to use another computer to ssh into my FreeBSD box and issued a halt command. It started booting, but after some time it said something like: root partition not cleanly unmounted... ad0: FAILURE - READ_DMA status=51 error=40 LBA=3155644 fsck: HELP! automatic recovery cannot proceed! type enter for /bin/sh # Then I typed fsck, which detected lots of UFS structure errors, while throwing some more READ_DMA error messages Fortunately, my /home and /data partitions were reported to be ok by fsck, while my /, /usr and /var partitions werenīt. The disk is relatively new (about a year old). Is there any chance to believe nothing is wrong with the hardware? I have a Pentium 4 running at 2.4 GHz, 512 MB Ram, Asus P4B266C motherboard, 40 GB HD (Iīm not sure about its brand, maybe itīs maxtor). Reuben, have you managed to fix it without buying another drive ?

I've rebuild world and kernel (going from 5.2.1-RELEASE-p3 to 5.2.1-RELEASE-p5), as well as switched out ribbon cables for the drives. The first drive in question (first failure that is), is a Maxtor 80 gig IDE, while the main system drive is a Maxtor 40 gig IDE. The 80 gig is less than a half a year old, while the 40 gig is a year old (maybe).

She decided to buy me a new server for our small office, which I am more than excited about, except for one paramount detail... It is a respectable 1U server with the following specs from manual: Dual (2) IntelR XEONT 2.8GHz HT Processors=20 533MHz Front Side Bus, Hyperthread 512K L2 Cache=20 Intel E7501 Server Chipset 2GB PC2100 ECC Reg.

I am not a computer expert, nor an expert with respect to FreeBSD, but = there is really no other operating system that I am willing (nor trust) to run = on our server. The retailer will not accept return or exchange, so I am = stuck with this thing. Can anyone provide any suggestions to overcome this problem? Maybe suggest a compatible pci raid card or something to make = the system work in a raid configuration with the existing HD's? Any and all assistance would be greatly appreciated! Thank you so very much for you help.

There was a thread on this subject on the freebsd-current list in April (see http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2004-April/025200.html). You could try to contact the authors - people posting on -current are usually fit in software development and they may have come up with a driver.

I will need to add the device code to usbdevs, but that's the easy part. If it matters, here's the ehci part of dmesg.boot: ehci0: mem 0xe2000000-0xe20000ff irq 16 at device 5.2 on pci2 ehci0: Reserved 0x100 bytes for rid 0x10 type 3 at 0xe2000000 ehci0: [GIANT-LOCKED] ehci_pci_attach: companion usb1 ehci_pci_attach: companion usb2 usb3: on ehci0 The motherboard is a dual-athlon Asus A7M266-D running -current from 12/29/04. As an aside, if I boot with it plugged in, I get a panic, probably geom. But that's, for the moment, a secondary concern. TIA for any hints, and Happy New Year, Barney Wolff
