I have the controller set to IDE in the BIOS so it should act just as any other IDE controller (according to the manual and many other sources). I have two hard drives on the primary IDE (not on the controller) and a CD drive on the secondary IDE (also not on the controller). Then I have two more hard drives on the PRI_RAID channel (which *is* the P-ATA channel on the controller). Those two drives are getting the failure (or at least one is - see the error messages in my original text). I wish I had an S-ATA drive to test with so that I could verify that it's a problem with the P-ATA part of this controller. Any more ideas? dave myron -----Original Message----- From: ctodd@chrismiller.com [mailto:ctodd@chrismiller.com] Sent: Wednesday, January 26, 2005 9:50 AM To: Dave Myron Cc: freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org; freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Subject: RE: Problem with FastTrak S150 SX4-M On Tue, 25 Jan 2005, Dave Myron wrote: > I'm getting that same exact error with an onboard Promise 20378 (on an > Asus P4C800). > On this Promise controller I have two drives on one cable on the P-ATA > (PRI_RAID) IDE interface.

I just wanted to throw this out there, I've got an Asus A8V with the same Promise controller and the system boots fine. However, I only have SATA drives (mirror) (no PATA drives) and two CDROM/DVD drives. Does your MB by chance have a PATA raid connector? It's an IDE connector that's red, but it's meant to raid two PATA drives. Just curious if your PATA drives are connected to the primary IDE bus, or to this parallel raid bus. Just a thought. Chris
