Good luck, JN Oddly enough, the answer is even more simplistic than that ... I simply tried plugging it into a different open SATA connector on the motherboard. If I plug it into number 2 (number 1 is connected to the original SATA hard drive that came with the system, a 120GB Seagate), it locks the system up like I described earlier. If I plug it into number 3 ... everything works fine.

Adding another hard drive
I'm trying to add another hard drive into my system, a 250GB Western Digital 7200RPM SATA drive, and when I have it plugged into the motherboard the system hangs when it gets to: Timecounter "TSC" frequency 1803775604 Hz quality 800 Timecounters tick every 1.000 msec acd0: CDRW at ata1-master UDMA33 ad4: 114473MB at ata2-master SATA150 Normally, I see the following line right after that: Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/ad4s1a and then the mount messages, the daemon starting messages, and the login prompt. When I have the new hard drive plugged into a free SATA port on the motherboard, it hangs the system hard, I have to unplug the box from the wall to shut it down. The BIOS sees that drive just fine. If I unplug it from the SATA port on the motherboard, the system starts up just fine again. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
