Hi all, My dedicated server company is deploying me a new FreeBSD 6.2 server. The box uses SATA drives, and is an AMD Athlon box. I was getting the following error flooding my dmesg: ad4: TIMEOUT - WRITE_DMA retrying (1 retry left) LBA=********* so they replaced all the hardware in the box. Still, with entirely different hardware, I am getting the same error: ad4: TIMEOUT - WRITE_DMA retrying (1 retry left) LBA=106848207 The hard drive in the new box is: ad4: 76319MB <Seagate ST3808110AS 3.AAD> at ata2-master SATA150 Before I start telling them that this new hardware is also bad, I figured I would see if there are any known problems/bugs with 6.2, or possibly a known compatibility issue with SATA (and maybe if I should ask them to switch to IDE). Thanks all, Matt
