Yes, found that myself, it doesn't like my rather old ATA controller. If this is a firewall, you can always try another BSD distro. You won't get all the nifty ata features, but you shouldn't need it on that old of a box. My old machine is very happy with OpenBSD right now. I wish there was a way to get the old wd driver back for clunky old boxes. For now, why not file a PR? I did, I also offered remote console access to the machine, core files, all that stuff, but no response (not even a "go away kid, you bother me") from the maintainer. > Many people complained about bugs in new ATA, but this bugs don't > fixed long time... Use send-pr and file a bug. It can't hurt. Or follow on to one of the other PRs that describes your issue... Charles > PS: sorry for my english > > -- > Vladislav V.
