Yes, this problem is known (PR-43345). Unfortunately, it is not very easily fixed under 4-stable (I believe -current already has a fix for this) according to the people who are experts on the ATA code. Workaround, here is my experience: http://geekinfo.net/article.php?story=20021229152603904 Basically, if your BIOS allows you to turn off ultra-dma, you will get FreeBSD installed. The patch described in PR-43345 "works" for me, but YMMV, because I use a 20G ATA66 hard drive. Hope this helps a bit. -- Torfinn Ingolfsen, Norway _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
