Hi everybody!
I have the following problem. I moved my system from
FreeBSD 4.11 to 5.4-RC3 by reinstalling everything.
The 4.11 system had no problem finding my MAXTOR hard
disk as ad3 as slave on the secondary IDE behind the
CDROM. The new 5.4 system indicates a lot of errors,
but finally accepts it and everything just works
fine. If I remove the hard drive the CDROM is
recognised without problems. My guess is that the
system tries to use higher PIO mode on the disk than
it is good for or something like that. Can anybody
explain how I can tune the kernel to avoid the error
messages? (BTW I have a GENERIC kernel.) dmesg
messages from the 4.11 and the 5.4-RC3 versions are
below.
Thanks in advance

Zoltan
