Hi all, I'm trying to install FreeBSD 7.0 release on a box at home.
When I boot up with the installation DVD these error messages appear on the screen. [Written down by hand:] ad1: FAILURE - READ_DMA status=51<READY,DSC,ERROR> error=84<ICRC,ABORTED> LBA=0055347 ad0: FAILURE - READ_DMA status=51<READY,DSC,ERROR> error=84<ICRC,ABORTED> LBA=0 etc etc .... .... FreeBSD sees these hard disks during boot up: ad0: 78533MB <Hitachi HDS728080PLAT20 PF20A21B> at ata0-master UDMA133 ad1: 32253MB <Samsung SP2014N VC100-33> at ata0-slave UDMA100 [This is wrong, the disk have a capacity of about 185 GB] So, when I go on with the installation program and try to write to disk the new slices and labels in fdisk I get an error message saying something like "not able to write to the disk". I don't think there is something wrong with my hardware, because I just have recently installed both Windows XP and Slackware Linux on the same box, without any problems. Does anybody have any idea to fix these problems? regards, Snorre D. Øverbø
