Hi!
I hope somebody on this list has another good idea, I haven't
thought of yet:
I have a machine that came with two Excel Stor 40 GB ("Ganymede")
UDMA/100 harddisks.
To install FreeBSD 4.10 I had to disable UDMA in the BIOS,
otherwise they wouldn't have booted (some complaint about ata0).
Of course I wish to get UDMA working, since this is said to
improve perfomance significantly.
I checked if the UDMA cable is plugged into the correct places
for mainboard, master and slave - this is o.k. .
Are there any other things (bios settings, kernel modules, magic
chants,...) I could try?
I've been using DragonFly so I am not absolutely certain 4.10 still uses
/boot/loader.conf, but if it does, then inserting the following line in
that file may help:
hw.ata.ata_dma="1"
No, it still doesn't work.
But thanks anyway.
Uli.
Jud
