Solution (in my case)! References: <199912160825.JAA71207@freebsd.dk> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-current@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi Soren/group, After spending a little time sniffing around in my BIOS I realized that my BIOS (Award BIOS) defaults to disabling UDMA for both master and slave and for some reason I never thought to check this....duh. Anyway after setting this to "auto" for both master and slave the problem seems to be fixed! This is curious because I was running the wd driver with the BIOS set wrong all along and never had any errors or problems (AFAIK). So why does the wd driver seem to ignore this incorrect configuration while the ata driver trips over it? Does this help anyone? Thanks again for your help Soren/everyone else. -- Regards, Devin To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
