I've sacrificed some dead trees to give you the exact boot messages: ad0: ATA-0 disk at ata0 as master ad0: 2014MB (4124736 sectors), 4092 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S ad0: 16 secs/int, 1 depth queue, WDMA2 ad1: ATA-3 disk at ata0 as slave ad1: 2441MB (4999680 sectors), 4960 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S ad1: 16 secs/int, 1 depth queue, UDMA33 . . Mounting root from ufs:/dev/ad0s1a ad0: ad_timeout: lost disk contact - reseting ata0: resetting devices .. After which the machine hangs _hard_ (i.e. no respone except to the reset key). The information given is mostly correct: The second drive is UDMA33 and can handle it with the WD driver. Also, when this drive is removed, the error still occurs. I'm in doubt as to the first drive though: The BIOS says it's 'Mode 4', is that the same as WDMA2? Could the harddisk be reporting the wrong value, even though the BIOS is giving the correct one? I'm just grasping at straws here. /^\ | Theo van Klaveren /^\\_//^\ | http://phoenix.student.utwente.nl ICQ #1353681 \_/-|-\_/ | / | This email was powered by FreeBSD `He's the mad scientist, and I'm his beautiful daughter.' - opening sentence from Heinlein's 'The number of the beast' To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
