I've always presumed it to be a question of timing out probes to the drives; it only ever happens on IDE controllers with no devices attached to 'em. I habitually just disable the controller channels that are empty (or, in the case of my SCSI systems, just yank ATA support altogether). -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Systems/Network Administrator | http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/ "The only reason I'm burning my candle at both ends, is because I haven't figured out how to light the middle yet" _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
