Is this new hard drive going to be useless with freebsd?

2004-12-24 Thread Mark Jayson Alvarez

Good day,

I currently have this setup at home and its
working fine with FreeBSD 4.10.

Motherboard:  Jetway 830CH
Hard Drive:   10 Gb Samsung
Video Card:   SiS on-board
Processor:AMD Athlon 1200 Mhz  (this is not an
Athlon XP)
Memory:   256 mb PC100 SDRAM

I bought a new 80 Gb Seagate 7200 rpm Hard Drive and
installed it on the primary master my pc.
The access mode for my hard drive Primary Master:
ST380011A in BIOS which shows these choices is set to
Auto:
   
   CHS
   LBA
   Large
   Auto
   
I boot into FreeBSD 5.3 cd and proceed with the
installation. Some time after choosing the X-User in
the installation method, it ended up failing to
install some packages(perl and xorg). Still, it says,
Congratulations... FreeBSD is now installed... (and
I'm really hoping that nothing went wrong with the
base system, and thinking to just install perl and
xorg later).

I removed the cd, and boot the pc. The kernel boots
silently until this error message showed up:


ad0 Warning_Read_DMA UDMA ICRC error(retrying request)
LBA=1518639
ad0: Failure_Read_DMA status=51READY,DSC,ERROR

Dec 24 17:28:39 init: /bin/sh on /etc/rc terminated
abnormally, going to single user mode
Enter full pathname of shell or RETURN for /bin/sh:

After pressing return key, the same error message
appeared.

I tried reinstalling it again but this time, I
selected LBA access mode in BIOS. I also choose
minimal installation. It successfully installed
withouth any package extraction or cd read error
problem. Again, I removed the cd, rebooted the pc
praying that this time I will be able to see some
login prompt... 

then waiting...
and waiting...
and then..

Grrr!! Waaa!

Do you know what's causing this problem. I'm thinking
maybe my new hard drive is not compatible with my
other pc peripherals (because I have 5.3 running on
the same hard drive specs in my office workstation but
together with a newer board and processor). I haven't
tried installing FreeBSD 4.10 on it yet, because I'm
really looking forward to using 5.3. I really need
some good advice here. I can't afford to upgrade the
rest of my pc because its like a chain reaction, once
I upgrade the board..., the processor, memory and
video card shall have to be upgraded too due to
compatibility issues. Any cheeper idea? 

Thank you very much for any advice. I'm really hoping
to be able to use my new hard drive soon.

I suspect a bad Drive Cable. Could you tell us about how you have installed
the drives? I mean master slave-configuration,etc

Or it could be a problem with the broken DMA on 5.3 that
countless others have posted to this list about?
