X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL25] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG *sigh* 250+ questions about wdc1 probing incorrectly from 2.1.0 through 3.0-RELEASE on -questions, -bugs, and -hardware, and still I haven't seen an *answer*. This definately qualifies as a FAQ, so why isn't it in the FAQ pages? Anyway. I'm asking again, and I'll put the answer up on the net somewhere once I figure out what the problem is. anyway.. I'm running FreeBSD 3.0-RELEASE installed fresh from ftp. the boot floppy can't find wdc1 and neither can my custom kernels. my 2.2.6 box was able to see wdc1 until i supped it to 3.0 and then it stopped seeing wdc1 as well! Where's this flakiness coming from? It's like it's a misconfigured variable or something simple, yet deeply hidden. so, the nitty gritty details.....
