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.
