Hi All,

I recently tried to boot the FreeBSD 6.0 Beta #3 on my laptop, and ran into 
a problem.

The hard drive controller probes as:

"
atapci0: <Intel ICH6 SATA150 contoller> port 
0xbfa0-0xbfaf,0x376,0x170-0x177,0x3f6,0x1f0-0x1f7 irq 17 at device 31.2 on 
pci0
...
ad0: 57231MB <HTS726060M9AT100/MH40A6EA> [116280/16/63] at ata0-master 
UDMA100
"

But I then get the following spewed out:

"
ad0: FAILURE - READ_DMA status=51<READY,DSC,ERROR> error=4<ABORTED> 
LBA=11721023
ad0: FAILURE - READ_DMA status=51<READY,DSC,ERROR> error=4<ABORTED> LBA=0
ad0: FAILURE - READ_DMA status=51<READY,DSC,ERROR> error=4<ABORTED> 
LBA=11721022
ad0: FAILURE - READ_DMA status=51<READY,DSC,ERROR> error=4<ABORTED> LBA=1
ad0: FAILURE - READ_DMA status=51<READY,DSC,ERROR> error=4<ABORTED> 
LBA=11721023
ad0: FAILURE - READ_DMA status=51<READY,DSC,ERROR> error=4<ABORTED> LBA=0
ad0: FAILURE - READ_DMA status=51<READY,DSC,ERROR> error=4<ABORTED> 
LBA=11721017
"

Sysinstall cautions me that the Geometry for the drive is unlikely, and 
that it's using a more sensible one (it displays 7296/255/63, with 
117210240 blocks).

The drive itself is partitioned already (with a WinXP partition, and a 
FreeBSD slice, from an older 5.x install) - however, sysinstall claims it 
can't see any of that and the drive is all unused.

The laptop itself is a Dell XPS Gen 2.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

-Karl
