When I boot up with the installation DVD these error messages appear on the screen. [Written down by hand:] ad1: FAILURE - READ_DMA status=3D51 error=3D84 LBA=3D0055347 ad0: FAILURE - READ_DMA status=3D51 error=3D84 LBA=3D0 etc etc =2E... =2E... FreeBSD sees these hard disks during boot up: ad0: 78533MB at ata0-master UDMA133 ad1: 32253MB at ata0-slave UDMA100 [This is wrong, the disk have a capacity of about 185 GB] So, when I go on with the installation program and try to write to disk the new slices and labels in fdisk I get an error message saying something like "not able to write to the disk". I don't think there is something wrong with my hardware, because I just have recently installed both Windows XP and Slackware Linux on the same box, without any problems. Does anybody have any idea to fix these problems? regards, Snorre D. =D8verb=F8 --------------enig32BAF30DD908261B2C6F965E Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJImvitAAoJEPcoQXPoJVx1NEAH/3RBzS4nvDSVxwvqUUnrzDSe HWz4qVwVwhtdszu6egrphMIPEJUvgD7Ix1T/ikZMNtVBhgPDok76adFm5huGxqoJ UQFQWn4oR0ForQTCQYVbF/3JNH1B+NFUc/BJeFEx4ooIPI2u7gVaMc61R0n/k14e 7+XXJ25bvpmENB21ZRT/KccmPSaq8mZofabHHFHYKC8ml1q6XsgrsU2h5WOdlB8U cITjK8krHL2/Jr98hBTzDp5/uHVsV+Ug1c679cM0Xc7XF8tduh1gCpTVg+M7jgs6 Owev5/jrFRX8SDXlg1swlLBm2vCoxliq3yfHV6ROKoEH6EeHIZCxsMyVtqUVU2A= =Xrio -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig32BAF30DD908261B2C6F965E--
