It's an IDE disk. This looks to me like a disk hardware error. Can someone confirm what causes this message? Is a disk subsystem fault a plausible cause of the mystery crashes? Seems plausible to me... Nick Barnes To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
