I'm running freebsd4.0-release for my desktop system at home. My power went off this morning and when it came back on and my system rebooted, I got the following errors: ad1: HARD READ ERROR blk#1947472 ata0-slave: WARNING: WAIT_READY active=ATA_ACTIVE_ATA ad1: HARD READ ERROR blk#1947472 status=59 error=40 ad1: DMA problem fallback to PIO mode mount: Input/output error Mounting /etc/fstab filesystems failed, startup aborted I ran fsck on all the filesystems. I don't know why it's complaining about ad1 -- freebsd is installed on ad0. I do have one filesystem on ad1, but with nothing on it. I fsck'ed it and it's clean. Does anybody know what's wrong and how I can fix it? Or why having the power shut off would fsck up my puter? How about explaining the error diagnostics? If I have to reinstall one more time I'd rather just shoot myself.
