Hi

I have posted these two questions to the list before but got no reply -
posting again in the hope that someone can help. Please LMK what info I
should send if more is required.



>I managed to get my first freeBSD install up and running with little
problem. However, every time I >recompile the kernel, even with no changes,
I get 

>ad0: READ command timeout tag=0 serv=0 - resetting
>ata0: resetting devices .. done

>There are no errors in dmesg.boot and the machine reboots fine with the
existing Kernel, so how do >I go about finding the problem?

>setup:
>FreeBSD 4.4-STABLE
>Cyrix 6x86MX PR200
>MAXTOR 81750 1.7Gb IDE HDD

-----------------------------

>I have my FreeBSD box set up as a DHCP client on my home network, with
>ICS to my cable modem through my Win2k pro box. (Yes, I know it would
>be better the other way around, but there are some other problems to
>sort before I get 'round to it).

>The problem is the Win box will not recognise the hostname of the
>FreeBSD box, although I can ping the IP address fine.

>If I set the FreeBSD box to a static IP and add the hostname to the
>Windows hosts file that works fine, too.

>I have added

>to Dhclient.conf but this makes no difference.

>Any suggestions?

TIA
