Just out of curiosity would you mind printing the atapci line/lines from dmesg. I get the same sort of problem from a brand new WD 120 gig drive that works fine in another machine so I suspect it has something to do with the controller chip. Mine is: atapci0: <SiI 3112 SATA150 controller> and it is listed in man ata(4) as a supported controller. -Mike _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
