I have an EISA 486/50 DX (not /2!) with 16 MB, 1742A controller and st12550N disk. The geometry is untranslated, there is an existing DOS partition, the first (root) slice in the freebsd partition is completely below cyl 1024 (but paging is not). At various times during the install, I get "Soft error ... corrected" messages. Later on, the install completely dies with : ahb0: board not responding Debugger ("aha1742") called. panic: panic for historical reasons syncing disks 44 44 44 44 [and so on] I have also gotten the numbers 108 and 2 instead of 44 in the syncing disks message. I have no problem with this controller/disk in any other OS. Unfortunately, if this problem has been addressed adready, I don't know about it since my archives of this list are on tape right now waiting to be restored when this installation is successful... (oops). Any suggestions on how to fix this or get the required information to be able to fix it? Dave Madsen ---dcm madsen@vijit.com -or- madsen@interaccess.com
