Hi, again Good day to avoid cops. Crawl to school. On Fri, 3 May 2002, Robby Williamson wrote: > howdy guys. > > I have a BP6 with dual 500's.

I hade to change my powersupply to, that took some time to discover as well.

But I don't use the promise only the ata33, As I said before. It only panics for me. But I havent tryed it latley so I can't tell if it works with the current stable. But I can get the ata133 controller around 60$ or less and I think that is quite resonable for my budget. > this is where my help gets vague.

I have heard it from other sources as well but I didn't pay mutch to it until now when I hear it from you to. I think that it is fubar, but anyway the best solution is properbly to avoid bying IBM discs in the future. At least IDE discs. I will by western digital instead. Well anyhow thanks for the research and answers once again. BTW I have hade my people that have had problem with the IBM gxp 75 series of discs, That the crashes after a while and you have to send it in to IBM or go to the store where you bought it and wait for a while to get a new one? > --------------------------------------------------------------- > Robby "ThunderCat" Williamson > www.upaboveit.org > "Failure is not an option." > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Mattias Bj=F6rk" <thrawn@linux.nu> > To: "Ted Sikora" <tsikora@ntplx.net> > Cc: <stable@FreeBSD.ORG> > Sent: Friday, May 03, 2002 05:07 > Subject: Re: Harddisk failure ? > > > Hi, > > On Thu, 2 May 2002, Ted Sikora wrote: > > > Mattias Bj=F6rk wrote: > > > > > > Hi, > > > > > > I get this error on one of my harddisc.
