I don't have all of it, but I do have a relevant excerpt. When you try to boot with two drives on the primary cable, you see the following: ... ad0: ATA-5 disk at ata0-master ad0: 19073 MB (39062500 sectors), 38752 C, 16 H, 63 S, 512 B ad0: 16 secs/int, 1 depth queue, BIOSDMA ad0: piomode=4 dmamode=2 udmamode-5 cblid=1 ad1: scuuess setting WDMA2 on generic chip Creating DISK ad1 ad1: READ command timeout tag=0 serv=0 - resetting ata0: resetting devices .. and then nothing. The machine hangs. With one drive on the cable, it's OK. Both drives are WD drives, jumpered to "auto." >what chipset is in there ? my guess is a newer ServerWorks >as they have a third interface onchip IIRC. Yes, I believe it's a ServerWorks chipset. >If they are that inexpensive ship me one and I'll make it work :) They start at $600 US, which is inexpensive for a server with ECC RAM, etc. Trouble is, we have to put this one into service. Do you have a way of getting a look at one? Or if I gave you an account on one, could you snoop around from a distance? --Brett To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
