The following reply was made to PR i386/122008; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Bruce Cran <bruce@cran.org.uk> To: Christophe Cap <christophe.cap@gmail.com> Cc: bug-followup@freebsd.org Subject: Re: i386/122008: Fdisk fails. Cannot install 7.0 Release on P5VD2-MX with Maxtor PATA Date: Thu, 27 Mar 2008 21:02:10 +0000 From looking through the logs it looks like you're using a VIA 8237S ATA controller. Somebody else came across what sounds like the same problem with that chipset just a couple of weeks ago (http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2008-March/171027.html) and says they solved it by replacing the cables - even after previously swapping them. This does sound very suspiciously like a cable problem - could you try swapping them again please? -- Bruce
