Hello, I have a computer (x86 with one IDE drive) which I would like to host both FreeBSD and Linux. I installed Linux there, and it works fine. I then tried to install 5.3-RELEASE from the CD, but the installer failed to find the hard drive and locked with the error message ata0-master: FAILURE - ATAPI_IDENTIFY timed out I then connected this drive to another machine running 5.3R compiled from sources, and installed the system there using DESTDIR, and arranged booting through lilo -- same result. Loader's "lsdev" shows IDE drive, but then the same ATAPI_IDENTIFY failure happens, and "List of GEOM managed disk devices" appears to contain only fd0. The thread about ATAPI_IDENTIFY failure already appeared in current@freebsd on 10/29/04, and the problem was probably resolved since then. Is it really necessary to upgrade to -CURRENT, or I am doing something wrong? Thanks, Alex
