FreeBSD can be a bit picky about that. I would say that 40-conductor (not pin!) cable detection feature may not work on the particular chipset. I've no idea what kind of ATA controller does Asus A7V266 use, but on my Asus P5W DH under fresh RELENG_6 40-conductor cable detection works correctly on the ICH7 PATA channel, while doesn't work on the PATA channel which is served by the JMicron JMB363 controller. Here is an example of connecting a UDMA66 drive to JMB363 by 40-conductor cable: atapci0: port 0xac00-0xac07,0xa880-0xa883, 0xa800-0xa807,0xa480-0xa483,0xa400-0xa40f mem 0xff6fe000-0xff6fffff irq 17 at device 0.0 on pci2 atapci0: AHCI Version 01.00 controller with 2 ports detected ata2: on atapci0 ata3: on atapci0 ata4: on atapci0 ... ad9: 16536MB at ata4-slave UDMA66 ... ad9: WARNING - READ_DMA UDMA ICRC error (retrying request) LBA=696 ad9: TIMEOUT - READ_DMA retrying (1 retry left) LBA=1728 ad9: TIMEOUT - READ_DMA retrying (0 retries left) LBA=1728 ad9: FAILURE - READ_DMA timed out LBA=1728 Sincerely, Dmitry -- Atlantis ISP, System Administrator e-mail: dmitry@atlantis.dp.ua nic-hdl: LYNX-RIPE
