I am a beginner with FreeBSD (I have 5.0 DP2) and I compiled a kernel, starting from the GENERIC configuration file. Didn't change anything in the ata section, except I took out the tape device and the ATA_STATIC_ID (as a last thing when I didn't know what to do anymore). The problem is at boot time, it waits a while for a slave drive, which never existed. Other than that, it works just fine. The master drive is a really old one, here are the prints of some commands: # dmesg | grep ata atapci0: port 0xf000-0xf00f at device 31.1 pci0 ata0: at 0x1f0 irq 14 on atapci0 ata1: at 0x170 irq 15 on atapci0 ata0-slave: timeout waiting for interrupt ata0-slave: ATA identify failed ad0: 2060MB [4186/16/63] at ata0-master WDMA2 # atacontrol list ATA channel 0: Master: ad0 ATA/ATAPI rev 0 Slave: no device present ATA channel 1: Master: no device present Slave: no device present # atacontrol mode 0 Master = WDMA2 Slave = ??? I took out from device.hints the references to ata, compiled the kernel without them but the same stuff happens. It's not a big deal, the waiting, but I'd like to know what did I do wrong, cause this isn't happening with the generic or the debug kernel. Thank you, bye. --------------------------------- Yahoo!
