Actually, that would have been me at comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc :) I see the same problem with 5.2 onwards (I haven't tried older parts of the 5.x series). The board in question is a Via Eden board (http://www.lex.com.tw:8080/product/CV860A.htm). If build a disk on another system and plug it in I get a series of CRC errors until the boot fails. If I plug that disk back into the other system it works fine. If I install onto a CF card (using the boards built in CF-IDE adapter) it works fine, but fails horribly with CRC errors if I try to access the disk. I get the same problems with a good cable from another system. It makes no difference with or without ACPI and happens regardless of the UDMA/PIO mode selected in the BIOS. As the system in question is currently doing nothing I'm happy to try just about anything in tracking this down. Keeping in mind that you can't read/write the hard disk :) -- Rob | Oh my God! They killed init! You bastards!
