I just set IDE_DELAY=4000 in my 3.2-STABLE kernel, and now it sees all disks on both controllers. I think the problem was that one of my IDE disks is a "Joe IDE device" (TM). Depending on which controller it was put would cause that controller to be "not found". Ok, my problem is solved - don't know about that ATAPI drive of yours though...Is it only detected at boot time when there's a CD in it ? is it detected ok in other OS's without the need for putting the CD in ? - Cillian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
