Drives work only in pio mode and must be set to pio mode early int the boot process. Do not upgrade. If you must upgrade in the face of this, add /sbin/sysctl -w hw.atamodes=pio,pio,pio,pio to the start of /etc/rc.conf. Even if you do this, any and all damage to your system is at your own risk. You have been warned. * * * W A R N I N G * * * Of _course_ I own such a thing. FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT #0: Fri Mar 31 16:52:11 CEST 2000 alex@cichlids.cichlids.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/cichlids pcib0: on motherboard pci0: on pcib0 pcib2: at device 1.0 on pci0 atapci0: port 0xe000-0xe00f at device 7.1 on pci0 Two things: As you can see, my -current is from Mar 31,though I don't know exaclty if I've taken sourcs from Mar 31, but I'm kinda sure. Question is: Does the problem affect all versions? It doesn't seem so, since I'm running two disks at UDMA33 without problems: ad0: 4133MB [8959/15/63] at ata0-master using UDMA33 ad2: 6197MB [12592/16/63] at ata1-master using UDMA33 There still is a little chance that my sources wasn't from pre-03/20, so - is this problem fixed?
