I had this same issue on an older AMD Nforce board. 5.2.1 seemed to install and run.. but moving to 5.3 gave me issues. I tinkered with the DMA settings in the BIOS.. to no avail. The Geometry seemed to be off on the drive I noticed (IBM deskstar) when I newfs'd it.. so I changed out drives.. but never got it working.. I eventually just dropped Gentoo on it. What chipset, drive controller hard drive are you using on this system?

And when I tried to first install 5.2.1 and upgrade (cvsup, make buildworld etc.. ) to 5.3 that way everything seems fine until I reboot to single-user-mode, as soon as Im starting to write anything to the disk itīs blurping out those errors.. I have diagnosticed my disk, checked my cabling and fixed my PSU (installed a brand new one). No difference. I noticed that my ide-controller was supported in 4.11, but not? in 5.3, is that realy true? seems very strange... Sence I duel boot with Wintendo/Lunix and donīt see this problem with those oses Iīm very confused of what to do next.. Iīll tried some snapshots to but no luck... / Mike ps My dmesg goes in the attachment, in hope for a patch/solution to this problem. ds -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to > "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" >
