I seem to be having major problems with the IDE driver in FreeBSD 4.3 The boot disks fail to recognise the disk on a Texas Instruments Extensa 510 (using an ALI chipset). The installation boot disk says: disk1 A:, disk2 C: on boot but fails to find the disk just before fdisk. Shouldn't the generic IDE driver find the disk anyway? (i have passed the irq/io port etc in the config bit) A kernel message is displayed 'ata2: cannot set DMA mode' or something like that, but surely this wouldn't prevent the disk from being detected? On another machine.. my Sony cdrw drive cannot be detected, with kernel messages: (null): MODE_SENSE_BIG command timeout - resetting ata0: resetting devices.. done (null): read data overrun 30/0 several times, then if I try to access the drive, more messages come up (with REQUEST_SENSE) and the system hangs. I posted this before, but the I have already tried the suggestion of trying different master/slave combinations. Can anyone tell me what MODE_SENSE_BIG does and why it would appear? thanks, graeme http://travel.yahoo.com.au - Yahoo! Travel - Got Itchy feet? Get inspired!
