With FreeBSD 4-Stable running still fine, I get this: # grep ata /var/run/dmesg.boot atapci0: at device 1.0 on pci0 atapci0: ATA channel disabled by BIOS ata0 at port 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 irq 14 on isa0 ata1 at port 0x170-0x177,0x376 irq 15 on isa0 ad0: 520MB [1057/16/63] at ata0-master BIOSPIO ad1: 2423MB [4924/16/63] at ata0-slave BIOSPIO # vmstat -i | grep -i ata interrupt total rate rl0 irq11 3187504 1 fdc0 irq6 2 0 ata0 irq14 33429902 17 sio0 irq4 3 0 sio1 irq3 1 0 clk irq0 187773091 100 rtc irq8 240341556 127 Total 464732059 247 So ata1 (irq 15) is not in the interrupt table !?! What does that mean? As a reminder: I have following in dmesg output: atapci0: at device 1.0 on pci0 atapci0: ATA channel disabled by BIOS For the harddisk to be recognized by the kernel, I need exactly this in the kernel config: device ata0 at isa? port IO_WD1 irq 14 device ata1 at isa? port IO_WD2 irq 15 Without these lines in the kernel config, I get a fatal 'no root device found' error at bootup. Apart from these peculiar findings, 4-Stable is running flawlessly on this old Pentium-1 PC. ----- Another reminder: when I try to install 5.3 on this PC, I get a "no disk found" error at a very early stage of the installation procedure. I hope to investigate this further in a not-so-near future.... Regards, Rob. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
