I'm installing FreeBSD 4.3 on a Thinkpad 600 (which according to the laptop compatibility list works great with FBSD), and when I try to make a partition I get the "No disks found!" message. Strangely enough it sees the cdrom, so the problem isn't with the ATA interface in general. During the install I go into UserConfig and disable everything but ATA (I compared IRQ and I/O settings with Windows and they match), floppy, serial & parallel ports, keyboard, ps/2, syscons, pccard and math-co. Here are the pertinent statements during boot: ata0: at 0x1f0 irq 14 on atapci0 ata0-master: ata_command: timeout waiting for intr ata0-master: identify failed acd0: CDROM <CRN-8241B> at ata0-slave useing PIO4 Any ideas? Does anyony think I should risk upgrading the BIOS? I'm pretty desperate since I just bought this thing used specifically for FreeBSD... Steve K. U.F.O. - "For the feeler gauge in you."
