I have a Dell D420 laptop with the ZIF interface and uses a 1.8" PATA drive. I purchased a Kingspec 16GB SSD and installed it. The BIOS recogonizes the drive. I am using the USB image to boot in verbose mode. Upon boot the disk is recognized by FreeBSD 9.0 as follows (sorry for any typos as i am reading this off the console):
ada0 at ata0 bus 0 scbus0 target 0 lun 0 ada0: <KingSpec KSD-ZF18.6-016MS 20120202> ATA-7 device ada0: Serial number... ada0: 100.0000MB/s transfers (UDMA5, PIO 512bytes) Then i see these errors (ada0:ata0:0:0:0): ATA status error .....READ_DMA. ACB: c8 .... .....CAM status: ATA status error .....ATA status: 51 (DRDY SERV ERR), error: 84 (ICRC ABRT) .....RES: 51 ..... As a result the disk is rendered unusable and i cannot write (partition) to it. I did test the drive with a linux boot disk and i was able to format it. So my question is how can i make this drive work? Do i need to pass something to the kernel at boot to lower the speed of the drive. Maybe to UDMA66? Any help will be really appreciated. _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
