Yes, I can: ad0: 238457 MB <WDC WD2500JB-00GVC0 08.02D08> at ata0-master UDMA acd0 ..... at ata0-slave looks fine too (I'm too lazy to copy it :) Also I have ad2 and it seems fine on dmesg too. After that goes ad0: WARNING - READ_DMA UDMA ICRC error (retrying request) LBA=0 ad0: WARNING - READ_DMA UDMA ICRC error (retrying request) LBA=0 ad0: FAILURE - READ_DMA status=51<READY,DSC,ERROR> and repeats 3 times. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
