When I run 4.9 with the second disk connected, it hangs during kernel boot after the message: ad1: READ command timeout tag=0 serv=0 - resetting ata0: resetting devices I've seen what looks like similar problems in the archives (e.g., http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/mid.cgi?188200406.20031109073901). It seems to happen on various motherboards and disk configurations. I wanted to provide another datapoint for configurations. My 4.9 came from the CD image downloaded from the ftp site last week (weds). 5.1 came from the subscription CD. The questions are: 1. Has anyone gotten a similar configuration working on 4.9? 2. Will it make a difference to CVSup? Thanks in advance! j
