Upon install I get the following: ad1: READ command timeout tag=0 serv=0 - resetting ata0: resetting devices I originally thought the problem was only with Western Digital Drives but I have been able to repeat with any drive that is big enough. It seems to only occur when a drive is connected on the primary IDE cable with another drive. A small (4Gig) drive (Maxtor) connected as "ad1" does not cause the problem to be exibited. The bottom line is that the OS cannot be installed if a drive of sufficient size or new enough is connected as the second drive on the first IDE chain. Windows can see and work with both drives. >How-To-Repeat: Try the install again. >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
