Hello- I posted this on freebsd-questions and mybe i shouldn't have. I am get lockup on my bsd machine. I took out a working bsd bootable HD and put it in my new AMD XP 2100+ machine. It booted fine the first time but after a while i got the following errors. Someone told me that I could have bad ram or maybe my heat sink isn't sitting on the processor properly. Errors ------ ad0: WRITE command timeout tag=0 serv=0 : resetting ata0: resetting devices .. ata0-slave: ATA identify retries exceeded Hardware: --------- ASUS A7N8X, supports up to : ATA 133 AMD XP 2100+ WD300BB Hard drive, ad0 note: primary master, only drive on the chain, 30 gig drive, 7200 rpm synopsis after reading the mailing list archives: ------------------------------------------------- I may have DMA enabled on the drive when the drive does not support it. is this a bios setting that i need to make or do i need the following change? /boot/loader.conf ----------------- hw.ata.ata_dma=0 I may have a 40 conductor ribbon cable instead of an 80 pin cable. can this really cause this kind of problem or will the drive just run slower. is there anything else that i can do to avoid these errors? thanks, brian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
