I believe that it's very likely that one or the other is the case, but I do not yet have proof of either. Are you saying that upgrading to 4.5-PRE _should_ fix the problem? I currently have a workaround. If I use a 40 conductor cable, the drive speed is throttled by the mobo to ATA33 and the problem does not occur. I would be willing to put an 80 conductor cable back on and see if the problem still exists if there is a likelyhood that upgrading will fix it. > http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=29045 -- Bill Moran Potential Technology technical services http://www.potentialtech.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
