From the 4.0-R install floppies the ATA controller is recognised during boot and then during device probe a pair of hard errors in the debug screen; ad0: HARD READ ERROR blk# 0 status 51 error=04 ad0: reading primary partition stable: error reading fsbn: 0 ad0: HARD READ ERROR blk# 0 status 51 error=04 ad0: reading primary partition stable: error reading fsbn: 0 I did the install by installing a minimal 3.4-PAO, which worked fine, and then a manual installation of 4.0 via NFS (sysinstall wouldn't recognise wd0 during a floppy install with a custom wdc kernel on kern.flp). I built a kernel on a 4.0-S machine using wdc instead of ata which works perfectly; wdc0 at port 0x1f0-0x1f7 irq 14 on isa0 wdc0: unit 0 (wd0): <IBM-H2344-A4> wd0: 328MB (672525 sectors), 915 cyls, 15 heads, 49 S/T, 512 B/S wdc0: driver is using old-style compatability shims If I build an ATA kernel and try to boot from it I get; ad0: 320MB <IBM-H2344-A4> [915/15/49] at ata0-master using BIOSPIO Mounting root from ufs:/dev/ad0s1a ad0: HARD ERROR blk# 0 status=51 error=04 ad0: reading primary partition stable: error reading fsbn 0 It was suggested that this could be the pio problem, but the messages I've found imply it is already trying to use pio mode. >How-To-Repeat: boot this laptop from 4.0-R install floppies. >Fix: :/ >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
