Hi Everyone, I installed FreeBSD 4.1-RELEASE on an AMD P5C 133 MHz with 32 MB of RAM and a 4GB Approx HDD. The name of the HDD, as the kernel detects at the time of startup is as follows: ad0: 3832 < Quantum Bigfoot TX4.0AT > FreeBSD is having problems mounting it, it spews forth the following messages before finally mounting it: ad0: READ command timeout - resetting ata0: resetting devices .. done ad0: READ command timeout - resetting ata0: resetting devices .. done ad0: READ command timeout - resetting ata0: resetting devices .. done ad0: READ command timeout - resetting ata0-master: WARNING: WAIT_READY active=ATA_ACTIVE_ATA. ad0: trying fallback to PIO mode ata0: resetting devices .. done After the above sessing of hit and miss it finally boots. Its not a fatal error but it takes a couple of minutes and thats annoying. If anyone knows how to fix this, I will be pleased to know how. I installed the same version of FreeBSD on an IBM HDD with a capacity of 10.1 GB with a speed of 7200 RPM and nothing like this happens. Thanks in Advance! Best Regards, Assad Khan. --------------------------------------------------------- This message sent using EMUmail -- http://www.emumail.com --------------------------------------------------------- Jumping through hoops to get E-mail on the road?
