 Hi (Old subject: Problem with Seagate hdd),  
  
 I've downloaded 5.4-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso and 5.4-RELEASE-i386-disc2.iso
this weekend and I burned them in CDs but I still have problem with fBSD
installer.  
  
 In fact, I not only have tried with a Fujitsu Model: MPD3043AT hdd but
ST340014A (40Gb barracuda7200.7) hdd as well without results.  
  
 I think that the problems is in fBSD that it doesn't able to communicate
with IDE banks, it raise the errors:  
  
 ata0-master: Failure - ATA-IDENTIFY timed out  
 ata0-master: Failure - ATA-IDENTIFY timed out  
 ata0-master: Failure - ATA-IDENTIFY timed out  
 atapi ... I don't remember the rest....  
  
 I've tested the installer in other four PCs and it works well.  
  
 if the motherboard's controller isn't supported by fBSD, what could I do,
should I send to garbage the motherboard?  
  
 Thanks......

 PD: My motherboard
