I have a 40GB Maxtor D740X-6L disk, and have been unable to install 5.4 or 6.0 on it. I get errors: ad0: FAILURE WRITE_DMA STATUS=51 <READY,DSC,ERROR> error=84 (IRC, ABORTED) LBA=.. as soon as I try to commmit the changes in sysinstall. I have checked that the IDE cable is the 80-wire type, and cleaned up the connections and so on. I tried installing Ubuntu on this disk, and everything went perfectly. (Those guys have done a really great job, by the way). Is there some configuration trick I have missed?
