Please see the below thread. Do not let the subject stop you from reading it. http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2008-March/041501.html I still can't find a present-day RELENG_7 SNAPSHOT that I can tell people to download. There isn't one in the snapshots/200803/ directory past March 14th, and the snapshots/2008/04/ directory only contains snapshots for ia64 and powerpc. I'm left to believe David Overton built his own ISO. It sounds as if you may have to do the same. And I can't explain what GRUB is doing. > HDD`s (2 x 250G) are connected to Parallel ATA on ServerWorks CSB5 > controller (it`s not onboard controller).

Not enough information to help debug this, but DMA timeouts are a known problem right now, regardless of controller: http://wiki.freebsd.org/JeremyChadwick/Commonly_reported_issues Scott Long may be able to help track this problem down for you, but more details are needed. > PS: Is there any way how to debug Bootloader? Debugging the bootstraps is an incredibly tedious process at this point. No, it's not easy. -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
