I am trying to install free on this machine, as I have no floppy/cdrom for this box I am restricted to installing via another laptop then swapping the drive back. Boot goes fine until: ata0-master: no status, reselecting device ata0-master: timeout sending command=ec s=ff e=00 ata0-master: ata identify failed I put the drive back into the other laptop and added hw.ata.ata_dma="0" and retried, again recieving the same errors. For fun I tried NetBSD and the machine boots fine. For reference the drive appears as: wdc0 at isa0 port 0x1f0-0x1f7 irq14 wd0 at wdc0 channel 0 drive 0:(IBM-DDLA-21620) wd0: drive supports 16 sector PIO transfers, LBA addressing wd0: 1551MB, 3152 cyl, 16 heads, 63 sec, 512 bytes/sect x 3177216 sectors wd0: drive supports PIO mode 4, DMA mode 2 What is it that is restricting Free from booting while allowing netbsd to boot properly? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Note: the bios on this machine, although updated is very limited to drive specific configuration options so anything I do modify must be on the OS end. Thanks.
