I don't have a spare disk handy for that - i use the machine for backups, so it's used at night mostly. > Ah, I would probably start with adding printfs to the various routines in > sys/dev/ata/chipsets/ata-nvidia.c. John - seriously, you're not hearing me. I don't know squat about what to look for here. I need instructions at the level of "print out variable X at line Y in file Z and reboot with configuration W in loader.conf. Really. I'm not trying to be unhelpful or dumbass or anything; it's just that any freebsd-fu I might have is right at the far end of the call stack to this. If you want, I can give you login access to the box. Nick
