And even versions of FreeBSD. If it has a 8235, it doesn't work, period. After talking off-line with Doug White, though, i am under impression that it has something to do with the size of the drive as well. He says his kt400/8235 works fine with an 80G drive. All my test drives have been 160G, and i don't have a smaller drive that could do UDMA100. All of them failed on my kt400/8235. I solved it for myself by getting a KT600/8237 motherboard (DFI), and i still think something is very fishy about 8235. Unfortunately, though, i don't have resources to verify that or troubleshoot it further. I spent a week on this already. Thank you for your advice, and the same goes to Doug White. Appreciate your help very much. -- Yura Socolov FP: A7192ABD96E15F5 19AB21E60C34109 -- http://users.binary.net/yura/ -- -- Opinions and views in this message are my own and my own only. -- -- "Two wrongs don't make a right... and three rights make a left." -- TRACON > On Thu, Apr 08, 2004 at 11:26:11PM -0500 or thereabouts, Yura Socolov wrote: > > Following is a message i sent to -hardware last night.
