Hi All, I recently tried to boot the FreeBSD 6.0 Beta #3 on my laptop, and ran into a problem. The hard drive controller probes as: " atapci0: <Intel ICH6 SATA150 contoller> port 0xbfa0-0xbfaf,0x376,0x170-0x177,0x3f6,0x1f0-0x1f7 irq 17 at device 31.2 on pci0 ... ad0: 57231MB <HTS726060M9AT100/MH40A6EA> [116280/16/63] at ata0-master UDMA100 " But I then get the following spewed out: " ad0: FAILURE - READ_DMA status=51<READY,DSC,ERROR> error=4<ABORTED> LBA=11721023 ad0: FAILURE - READ_DMA status=51<READY,DSC,ERROR> error=4<ABORTED> LBA=0 ad0: FAILURE - READ_DMA status=51<READY,DSC,ERROR> error=4<ABORTED> LBA=11721022 ad0: FAILURE - READ_DMA status=51<READY,DSC,ERROR> error=4<ABORTED> LBA=1 ad0: FAILURE - READ_DMA status=51<READY,DSC,ERROR> error=4<ABORTED> LBA=11721023 ad0: FAILURE - READ_DMA status=51<READY,DSC,ERROR> error=4<ABORTED> LBA=0 ad0: FAILURE - READ_DMA status=51<READY,DSC,ERROR> error=4<ABORTED> LBA=11721017 " Sysinstall cautions me that the Geometry for the drive is unlikely, and that it's using a more sensible one (it displays 7296/255/63, with 117210240 blocks). The drive itself is partitioned already (with a WinXP partition, and a FreeBSD slice, from an older 5.x install) - however, sysinstall claims it can't see any of that and the drive is all unused. The laptop itself is a Dell XPS Gen 2. Any suggestions? Thanks, -Karl
