hello there! [ in case of answers from questions@, please, keep cc'ing me ] I tried to install FreeBSD 4.2-R on a Asus A7V133/Athlon Thunderbird 850MHz/Fujitsu MPE3136AH (udma/66), and noticed the following: the system installs and runs smoothly, when the hard disk is attached to secondary (Promise UDMA100/RAID0) controller. When it's at primary controller, it detects disk properly. But when it tries to write partition data on it, it makes some tries like: ad0: WRITE timeout tag=0 ata0: resetting devices .. done and then panics with message `going nowhere without my init'. Seems that new Asus A7V133 has broken primary IDE controller. Have anybody met with something like this? FYI: 3.5.1-R bootable CD does not boot at all - it dumps registers and halts system. FYI2: Windows ME installs and operates even when disk is installed as primary master. Maybe it just silently downgrades from udma/66 to something lower? # Alexey To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
