I have read that others had this problem before. I

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"
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.
No, no need for that. It's already confirmed that
4.X does not have this problem.
However, recently there's a 'ATA mkIII' patch around,
which seems to also solve this problem. Follow the
discussion on -stable mailinglist for further
details.
I'm not yet sure whether you have to upgrade first
to "5-STABLE" before applying this patch.
Rob.
Thanks Rob!
