Hello, I'm having a problem installing any version of FreeBSD 5.2 and above on a EIDE Western Digital Caviar 80GB. That system was running 4.x without any problems for over 2 years. When I planned to install 5.3 I got the error below. I thought at first it's HD jumper settings "not that I changed the current settings" Then I thought it's the IDE bus. I did further debugging. I installed different types of Linux and Windows 2k and I got no problem with the HD. I'm able to install FreeBSD 5.1 and any prior release with no problem. I read some threads about 5.3 having problems with some IDEs. If that's the case, what is your suggestion ? I want to take advantage of the nice features in 5.3 plus I got my DVD burner identified for the first time under 5.3. After I boot from CD to proceed with a clean install. When I get hardware probing, as I reach the 'ata' part I get the message below and everything just freeze there. I have to do a hard boot. ad0: 76293MB <WDC WD800BB-75FRA0> [155009/16/63] at ata0-master UDMA100 ata1-master: FAILURE - ATA_IDENTIFY status=7f<READY,DMA_READY,DSC,DRQ,CORRECT,INDEX,ERROR> error=7f<UNCORRECTABLE,MEDIA_CHANGED,NID_NOT_FOUND,MEDIA_CHAN..REQUEST,ABORTED,NO_MEDIA,ILLEGAL_LENGTH> LBA=0 Thank you, -- Regards,
