That only affects DMA, right? I'm going to try and install with hw.ata.wc=0 hw.ata.ata_dma=0 hw.ata.atapi_dma=0 And see if that works. I don't see any of the IDMA errors that other people are reporting (maybe because I'm only uses UDMA33 and not UDMA66/100). All I see is data and/or filesystem corruption. Sometimes the fs gets blaster beyond repair, other times I see files get merged together, etc. A pain in the butt. -- Keith Mitchell Email: kmitch@guru.org PGP key available upon request To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
