Re: Problem with Seagate hdd
Efren Bravo wrote: When the installer start it raise this error: ata0-master: Failure - ATA-IDENTIFY timed out thanks... I have experienced the same error message for every release I have tried since FreeBSD 4.11. I have concluded that my particular VIA controller on the system board isn't supported by later releases. (I have tried more than one brand of HD and they all behave the same.) In correspondence earlier with Soren, he stated that my particular controller is supported by later releases, but it just doesn't work. On the positive side, 4.11 is serving admirably for my purposes.

Yes, I suppose. um, either you are or you aren't.

Yes, most HDDs don't need special drivers. FreeBSD can communicate with ATA drives with the standard kernel. > I've > checked http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.4R/hardware-i386.html#DISK but > it doesn't have any seagate hdd reference. Because it's not necessary. > Is it possible to install freebsd into seagate ST340014A (40Gb > Barracuda7200.7)? Yes, absolutely. Your problem maybe lies within a misconfiguration in your cabling or BIOS, defective hardware, torn cabling and/or failing drive, maybe, or a mistake on your side using the installer. lars. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
