I am trying to install 6.2, and the install from CD goes fine, but it will not make it to a login prompt on a subsequent reboot. The error is: ad0: TIMEOUT - READ_DMA retrying (1 retry left) LBA=2270335 g_vfs_done():ad0s1a[READ(offset=1162379264, length=49152)]error=5 vnode_pager_getpages: I/O read error vm_fault: pager read error, pid 46 (sh) pid 46 (sh), uid 0: exited on signal 11 then it drops me to single user, but that doesn't work and the machine starts streaming the ad0 errors past me. In the past I have always assumed that this is a drive going bad, however i have tried it with 3 drives to the same effect. One of the drives has a windows partition that has no issues. The bios on the laptop is the latest. I am going to see if i can adjust the UDMA mode at boot with atacontrol. Any other advice would be great. Sorry if this is the wrong list and whatnot.
