I have read that others had this problem before. I just write this report for you to know.
When I installed FreeBSD 5.3 R, I get some errors like this, but I could end the install:
ad0: WARNING -READ_DMA UDMA ICRC error (retrying request) LBA=5313599
ad0: FAILURE -READ_DMA status=51<READY,DSC,ERROR>
error=84 >ICRC,ABORTED>
spec_getpages:(ad0s1a) I/O read failure: (error=5)
................
I have solved the problem disabling DMA: hw.ata.ata_dma="0"
(I previously tried disabling ACPI with no success, and playing with BIOS LBA, LARGE, NORMAL settings at the BIOS with no success).
Now ad0: works in PIO4 mode and everything is fine, previously , it was UDMA33. Now there are no errors.
There's you and me now. I have this problem with two of my PCs. I don't know yet of anybody else who has these problems.
It's indeed a serious problem, but too few people running 5.3 seem to suffer from this.
Have you tried with 4.11? I bet that would not generate these problems.
Thanks, I see that we are not alone!
I have not got a 4.11 CDROM here. I could test it on 4.10 if you think it is important, I have a 4.10 CDROM here. My internet is too slow to dowload a full CDROM at home. I can download 4.11 install CDROM on the computers at University if it worths the effort.
Please let me know.
Ramiro.
Regards, Rob.
