Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Ok, I just put together a new Athlon system, and am having a hell of a time trying to get the hard disks to work right. First, some system details: Motherboard: FIC SD-11 board rev. 1.8, with the latest BIOS. (AMD-751 north bridge, VIA 82C686 south bridge) CPU: AMD Athlon 650MHz. Memory: 128MB SDRAM DIMM Hard Disk: Western Digital Caviar WD102AA 10.2 GB Ultra66 (single drive only, no slave devices or CD-ROM's etc.) Other Cards: Matrox G100 AGP video card, Realtek RTL8139 10/100 PCI Ethernet, Creative Labs SoundBlaster Ensoniq AudioPCI OS: FreeBSD 4.0-STABLE (cvs updated as of this afternoon) Now, the problem: The system boots normally, but after some amount of disk access has happened (this usually happens when the /usr/local/etc/rc.d/* scripts run) the system switches into PIO mode due to errors. ad0: UDMA ICRC WRITE ERROR blk# 27984 retrying ad0: UDMA ICRC WRITE ERROR blk# 27984 retrying ad0: UDMA ICRC WRITE ERROR blk# 27984 retrying ad0: UDMA ICRC WRITE ERROR blk# 27984ata0-master: WARNING: WAIT_READY active=ATA_ACTIVE_ATA falling back to PIO mode The system works fine after it switches to PIO mode, and there appear to be no errors in the filesystem (i've tried running fsck a number of times). If I leave the system running in PIO mode, it runs with no trouble at all, even running under heavy loads (several simultaneous 'make world's). I've tried several different Ultra66 cables, even a cable that has been in a system that has been running 24/7 perfectly for several months. No dice. Obviously this is not the ideal solution. I'd like to get the most out of my hardware, and having a fast Ultra66 disk running in PIO mode is rather irksome. Anyone else out there have a similar configuration as I do, and can shed some light on this? Thanks in advance for any assistance you are able to offer. Thanks!
