They're brand new cables, from promise, and I don't have this problem
under linux (I get over 40 MB/s transfer rate with hdparm). However, I will try other cables eventually. If anyone has another idea, please let me know. Thanks, Ugo>>
-- Try getting new cables. I have had a similar problem caused by bad cables before.

Hi,
--System FreeBSD 4.8 release It is a kernel that I recompiled only to enable SMP. The same error comes with the generic stock generic Kernel. It is a dual Athlon MP 1800+ on a tyan MB. The Raid card is a TX-2000 with 2 Hot swap superswap enclosure. The only other IDE device, the cd-rom is on the IDE controller on the motherboard. The raid is a RAID1 with 2 Western Digital 80 Gb, 8 Mb cache, 7200rpm, each of them is ont a separate channel. I checked the cable and they are connected on the right side. I even tried to put them the other way around and I get the same error message.
--Problem: FreeBSD only puts my drive in udma33 while the Motherboard, cables, enclosures and drives support udma100. I don't know if it is a bogus error, because I don't know how to test it (like hdparm in linux).

Nothing interesting in /var/log/messages
Other logs can be provided upon request. I just don't want to make the post too long.
Thanks for your help.

Try man 8 atacontrol
