Hi!

I have added an old (4-5 years old) ~800Mb IDE hard drive to my system
in order to store the CVS tree.

The BIOS detects this hardrive as :
 Detecting IDE Primary Slave: Conner Peripherals 850MB - CF850A

I used it several times under FreeBSD 2.2.xR and Windows.

Now, I have installed it on my 3.2-RELEASE box, as the primary
slave and dmesg outputs :

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
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

wd0 is Ok but I cannot get information about wd1.

This machine is a dual boot machine with Windows 98 installed too and
it is able to run the drive. I was able to format the drive with no
problems.

FDisk works quite fine on it but disklabel (from sysinstall) stop with :
 Error mounting /dev/wd1s1e on /CVS : Invalid argument  

/CVS is a mount point I tried.

and  in dmesg :

wd1s1e: hard error writing fsbn 1663199 (wd1s1 bn 1663199; cn 824 tn 31 sn 62) (
status 51<rdy,seekdone,err> error 10<no_id>)


I have tried the 4.0 CURRENT Snapshot on August 13th with the same
result as with 3.2-RELEASE in the boot messages.

Is this some kind of regression regarding 2.2.x or something new to
setup in the kernel to detect old IDE drives?

Thanks for any help... I am lost.

Phil.
