Disk errors on installing FreeBSD 7.0
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 error=84 LBA=0055347 ad0: FAILURE - READ_DMA status=51 error=84 LBA=0 etc etc FreeBSD sees these hard disks during boot up: ad0: 78533MB at ata0-master UDMA133 ad1: 32253MB 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 signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

One was 4 years old, the other was brand new (3 months ago). Never was able to fix the problem. For the older one, I plugged in an external DVD drive and installed via that. For the other one, I installed via a mini-install disk, and then did a minimal network install. For the record, they both had SATA drives and the disks worked (and still work) fine after the OS was installed. It was just copying the base system off the CD that was causing errors.

I've tried to install FreeeBSD CURRENT 8 and 7 release. This is on a no name box with a bio board and 1100 cpu. I've had this on other boxes too and load IDE drives on a box that works with them and then put them in the box with errors and they work just fine. Every thing gets recognized normally at install time, but the size of the IDE drive a Fujutsu 20 gig. shows twice what it should be every time. Dont know if this has anything to do with it, except if you change the size in installer it wont load anything. Maybe one of the top level gurus on the list can help. -- ~Al Plant - Honolulu, Hawaii - Phone: 808-284-2740 + http://hawaiidakine.com + http://freebsdinfo.org + + http://aloha50.net - Supporting - FreeBSD 6.* - 7.* - 8.* + < email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > "All that's really worth doing is what we do for others."- Lewis Carrol ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Same problems for me with atapi CD/DVD drives (READ_BIG timeouts, etc) .. it works a bit better when dma is turned off, but then performances are very poor.
