As if warnings from the hackers list had not been enough to keep me
from buying a Quantum (DEC) grand prix (4GB) drive, it must have
been the FreeBSD daemon that had ridden me when I withstood all these
voices. Now here I am:
The drive gives a read i/o error when the 2.0.5-ALPHA sysinstall
tries to write the partition info/disklabel.
So I went back to a 1.1.5.1R install disk and tried it. No luck:
sd0(aha0:0:0): timeout
adapter not taking commands.. frozen?!
DEbugger("aha1542") called. AGAIN
aha0: MBO not free
and so on.
The AH on board LED and the drive select LED on the drive were lit and
kept so even after a RESET.
Running the controller/disk diagnostics seems to work fine, though.
Any ideas? Bring the drive back and buy another one? What are good
high capacity drives these days?
