Shouldn't it back down to non | DMA mode after a while? Is there a way to disable the DMA on the install | floppies? How many times did it retry? It looks like everything is in place to default to PIO mode in this case, but you have allow it to try 3 times before it fallbacks to PIO. >From ata-disk.c log: revision 1.59 date: 2000/03/05 16:52:23; author: sos; state: Exp; lines: +24 -24 [...] Update the timeout code to try fallback to PIO if problems arise in DMA mode. ---------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
