Basically, the responses said the problems could be: 1. Power Supply not supplying constant and stable power 2. Tag Queueing may be enabled 3. The ATA66 Controller may be garbage On one suggestion, I used atacontrol to set the drive to UDMA33. That caused the problems to completely go away on the HPT366. Later, I bought a new controller (Highpoint RocketRAID 404/HTP374) and another 80G drive. I installed the new controller and both new drives. Everything runs perfectly at full speed... no problems yet. So, in summary, it appears that the HPT366 controller on the Abit BP6 doesn't run well under 4.6-STABLE. It must not be a power supply problem, because adding another drive as well as a new PCI card would have made the problem worse. Tag Queueing is and was disabled, so that could not have been it. Thanks for all the help! --Eric On Thu, 13 Jun 2002, Eric Gatenby wrote: *>Hi, *> *>I just added an 80G Western Digital HD into my freebsd-stable box, *>which was recompiled on Tuesday.
