The drive in question is a Maxtor 6B200M0. First of all, when the drive is connected I can't get any resent FreeBSD boot cd to do anything but a "intsant reboot" - it starts to load, some text flashes and the computer reboots. When booting from floppies or with the drive disconnected (just reconnect it when I get to the menu) I get this: ad4: Maxtor 6B200M0 BANC1B70 ad4: 398297088 sectors [395136C/16H/63S] 16 sectors/intrupts 1 depth queue ad4: Promise check1 failed ad4: Adaptec check1 failed ad4: LSI (v3) check1 failed ad4: LSI (v2) check1 failed ad4: FreeBSD check1 failed GEOM: new disk ad4 Any ideas? The drive passed all the Maxtor PowerMax tests.. Should I get a dmesg? thanks, ö -- Øyvind Skaar | os guesswhat odots.org | 482 78 480 | http://odots.org http://last.fm/user/%67%69%7A%7A%6C%6Fn | http://43things.com/person/%C3%B8s 6865792c207768617420646f20796f75206b6e6f772c 796f752772652061206e65726420746f6f202e2e
