Hmmm...That's a strange one. Are you sure the jumpers on each drive are set properly for master and slave? You might also try removing the CDROM and sticking the 850MB drive on the other IDE controller to see if it works there (make sure the jumpers are correct for a single drive). In the old days (when Conner was still around), there were some drives that just didn't get along well if you mixed manufacturers on the same bus. If it works alone on the other controller, it's one of those "unfriendly" drive situations. If it doesn't work, then there's something else amiss, and hopefully, someone else out there has a better idea. Good luck, --Dan ** The thing I like most about Windows 98 is... ** You can download FreeBSD with it! ----- Original Message ----- From: Philippe CASIDY <pcasidy@worldnet.fr> To: <freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG> Cc: <pcasidy@greatoak.home> Sent: Sunday, August 15, 1999 1:06 PM Subject: [HELP] Unrecognize IDE hard disk > Hi! > > Here are new information regarding my problem of this IDE hard drive > uncorrectly recognized by FreeBSD. > > I am currently using FreeBSD 3.2-RELEASE and during the boot phase, I > have the following message : > > wd1: size unknown, using fake values > wd1: 0MB (17 sectors), 1 cyls, 1 heads, 17 S/T, 512 B/S > > This wd1 is recognized by the BIOS as > Conner Peripherals 850MB - CFS850A > > I am able to partition it and format it under Windows on this same > machine. > > Booting using a 2.2.5R boot floppy result in the same message. > > This hard drive has already run under FreeBSD with no troubles but on a > different machine some the problem may come from the controller. > > Here are the messages I have booting in verbose mode : > > CPU: AMD-K6(tm) 3D processor (350.80-MHz 586-class CPU) > .... > found-> vendor=0x10b9, dev=0x5229, revid=0xc1 > class=01-01-fa, hdrtype=0x00, mfdev=0 > subordinatebus=0 secondarybus=0 > intpin=a, irq=0 > map[0]: type 4, range 32, base 0000f000, size 4 > ide_pci0: <Acer Aladdin IV/V (M5229) Bus-master IDE controller> rev 0xc1 int a irq 0 on pci0.15.0 > ide_pci: busmaster 0 status: a4 from port: 0000f002 > ide_pci: ide0:0 has been configured for DMA by BIOS > ide_pci: busmaster 1 status: 84 from port: 0000f00a > .... > wdc0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7 irq 14 on isa > wdc0: unit 0 (wd0): <ST34312A> > wd0: 4111MB (8420832 sectors), 8354 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S > wd0: ATA INQUIRE valid = 0007, dmamword = 0407, apio = 0003, udma = 0007 > wdc0: unit 1 (wd1): <unknown> > wd1: size unknown, using fake values > wd1: 0MB (17 sectors), 1 cyls, 1 heads, 17 S/T, 512 B/S > wd1: ATA INQUIRE valid = 0000, dmamword = 0000, apio = 0000, udma = 0000 > wdc1 at 0x170-0x177 irq 15 on isa > wdc1: unit 0 (atapi): <BCD 36X CD-ROM/1.40>, removable, accel, ovlap, dma, iordy > .... > > I have been able to use Fdisk on this hard drive anyway but not > disklabel (from sysinstall) ! > > Any help will be greatly appreciate! > > Thanks > > Phil. > > > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
