My earlier postings to this list haven't received any replies yet so I'm again sending a request for assistance. My home pc config is: Gigabyte 6BXC with 128M ram, 8G hd, a Matrox G200 AGP vid card I have used fbsd 4.0 and 4.1 release versions and both of them would give me the following messages: ata0-master: TIMEOUT: device has disappeared! Either I'm doing a "make build" or "cvsup stable-supfile". I've already swapped the hd between the primary and secondary ide controllers and still get the message. The only thing left is to find a hard disk to try out but hard disks are expensive in this part of the world so I was wondering if my analysis is correct that the hard disk is at fault before I commit and buy a new harddisk. Appreciate any help. =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D Rino Mardo Network and Systems Administrator Al-Tayer Group of Companies Tel.
