-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: RIPEMD160 Hello list. After debugging this with a few friends who are by far more experience din freebsd than I am, I have been asked to report the following strange behaviour to this list He asked me to be specific, so I am going to provide a much information as I can. The hardware used is as follows: ASUS CUSL Motherboard 2 Hard drives On the primary Master a Maxtor 53073U6 30736 MB ioctl (I am in linux) reports the following geometry for it: geometry = 3736/255/63, sectors = 60030432, start = 0 The second hard drive on the secondary Master channel is a IBM DTLA-307030 also 30736 MB. ioctl reports the following geometry for this drive: geometry = 3737/255/63, sectors = 60036480, start = 0 I have downloaded the 4.3 boot floppies from ftp.at.freebsd.org and then booted my system. After entering the installer friend told me to press scroll lock and scroll up to see the actual output of the Kernel. The output for the drives reads as follows: ad0 2014 MB <Maxtor 53073U6> [4092/16/63] at at-0-master UDMA66 ad2 29314 MB <IBM DTLA-307030> [5956/16/63 at at-1-master UDMA100 As you can see the first drive is not recognized at all, the second drive is almost missing a gigabyte (yes I know the drive looses space due to formatting but still some space is missing) The first drive is recognized correctly by the bios it operates in UDMA mode 4 (66) The second drive is also recognized correctly by the bios it operates in UDMA mode 5 (100). The BIOS for this motherboard is up to date, I checked with the vendor. I have ran several test on the drives and their logic, both drives are 100% operational. For both drives SMART monitoring is enabled. Thank you very much, since I am not subscribed to this list a CC to my private mail would be very nice, yet I will make sure to check via the web. Thank you and I hope this helps, FreeBSD looks interesting to me and I really would like using it along with my linux setup. - -d -- si vis pacem, para bellum - ---- 'Doubt thou the stars are fire; Doubt that the sun doth move; Doubt truth to be a liar; But never doubt I love. - - Hamelt, Shakespear -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iQNmBAEUAwAGBQI7FPQiAAoJENYKnjdA0qXChc8NIK7hwJQ843iqUm8s7wEcJObC ihUPw1KiaTZKe0jH3FTkKomzNoiyphiHXo6KUg1/yMYLheUuI66uBCXtdX7jiya4 CXbcVrT4/HZKvXncp6vQ+K27Vf7WG1Z7nF3pTVQxjgqqEiFNmXy2Nw+Rfartydah VWNxlr+E+/LGRhwQdRnT/0uhxYF2uXdNTsqnRhFJ8Gdh0n9Kpa7GazUtWQz7P94A Qt/xAFs5G3egK7mXH5neNx7MOwW+4RB8L4qe+f5rcPzPVKg6c1RKU8hYDcRXoUeH LpQ1wH5YJnkZowrvdEkmNFfXYzpSnJd1mjN/6qgsQRKLe09ckXsUCJ7UUGXyzRLO klbL25igOn105rXs0shLZTHluhitfCFHcWM4Y8HRTyGX2FvbV7yIJ8uUkO7emHy9 OdbF6Ic3TfN2cyguro3umFD7931bclCb3XA22vUfEJS3QkXn9N1l9Ih/Pn+VQCLj jqfj9J+uxNnrUOm1BnSzA/lPfeXp53YoTZTQaGWuIVMceFufNNRgnE/BSeFgyS9m yAr7hWWqE5fDZ1NTdN3RVK0+Ng0dHxMTP8uDqLUOcAj5Vs9sJfd3QjmeaZy7GlWX bBDMHuu1MUqwmUNrq5YX98V7WogPJXqWL1Jm1CGsA1lw+xmo3hFdL3jWkik90Vfi u+z30F03GRFXx+8YumBa+yQ6HuDMAm9DPkwq4M5fxT9+GiXiFZkS1dPpogzO3Fzn CN4Q6Xgv1F9HaFiJ9e1AcEKzq5scOvrO3BsLgFvlFM0TG7vj7wu1acjkxYA4Kb+i 8DN3dErd23dR6xrCPMLD1NWAmICQoIzvsZH3afgT1toyytJBXISkP67FO1N3UvMT iqBE9boo40xZm2p0FOXdiOZlUeuYJd6g2yl5CKjQAuietDQhANFckHnpW/5caPxc uXQjX9Wt0SRZe27CIuEU/S8dB1tXTGnSePENlYgTdpbI6HiEgqY08H0opFGi50xo ZfmeAwCNQBe5JNhIciL/WQ0dSDU+AU2z43qv0B4tO/dCYmFbwSR9PZBMHsoihF8U D7SJq7pVCrskQ3VLS0pcwMK7R9U0SeEn0FnjEIVrB5PcvYfzWlACPJWxspmVfZG9 ieSOejrRjs2b =WMiv -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
