FreeBSD 3.3-STABLE as of some time last week. FIC VA-503+ Motherboard. VIA MVP3 Chipset. AMD k6-2/300 128MB EDO Ram. wd0: UDMA/66 capable 10.2GB Western Digital Harddrive wd1: UDMA/66 capable 20.2GB IBM Deskstar. The flags on the controller is 0xa0ffa0ff. When I boot the system with UDMA mode enabled in the BIOS I get the following 2 error messages. wd0: reverting to PIO mode reading fsbn 0 (status 51 error 84) wd1: reverting to PIO mode reading fsbn 0 (status 51 error 84) The 10GB drive is fairly new and the 20GB is brand new. I doubt that there was a bad block (if that is what this error message means in the 1st place), and also that it would be in the exact same place on both drives. Does anyone have any insight into this at all? Thanks, -Chris To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
