This is the weirdest problem I'm seen in a while.
Client bought a pair of 160G Samsung SP1604N ATA drives. I'm supposed to install
them in an existing FreeBSD 4.9 system for additional storage space.
As soon as the drives are installed, kernel won't boot. It freezes up right before
the "ad0: ..." messages appear and won't respond to anything except the reset button.
Tried primary slave, secondary slave ... threw in a Highpoint ATA card and tried
every possible configuration ... no dice. This was on a relatively new AOpen mobo
with a 2G processor (don't have the model # handy, but I'll get it if it's important)
When you moved the drives, did you move the cables? Can the problem be diagnosed by switching out the cables?
