Okay, I'm not really an ATA expert nor do I know the code, but what I found is that it could be a LBA/CHS problem. Which version do you use? Have you tried to slice/lable the card inside the NSA 1045 (from a temporary FreeBSD holding HD)? If I'm right you dump a preformatted image onto the card, maybe you have addressing problems.... I gave up using images, PXE-booting (or installing a HD on machines which have the possibillity) and installing the base system right on the destination hardware turned out to be much safer and is not really more time consuming... Mayby playing with BIOS LBA/CHS settings gives some hint's, I don't expect that, but I'd try that and if that all fails you may want to contact Søren, the ATA author. -Harry > > > Am Freitag, 25.
