I managed to work around it by doing the install with only one drive and the cd on the primary IDE channel, nothing on the secondary. I then had no difficulty adding the second drive back into the mix. I tried this only because I seem to remember a comment about this during the RC stages, but I honestly can't remeber the context or list (I searched the lists for 2 days but couldn't find it). The kernel (GENERIC, I haven't had time to build a custom yet) even managed to figure out the second disk required pio without any prodding from me. I should mention that the single drive I used for the install was capable of DMA modes, so this might not help. cheers, Colin On 29-Mar-00 Gawel wrote: > Hello, > The same message ( ata0: resetting devices .. done; ad0: WRITE command > timeout - resetting) > has appeared to me but during instalation 4.0R form CDROM. > I have no idea how to install 4.0 on my PC. > Is there any trick to switch on hw.atamodes=pio,pio,pio during instalation > from CD? > > With regards, > Gawel To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
