Yeah; on a Via 82C686B IDE controller chip. Force it to UDMA66; if that doesn't help, look for a BIOS update to change your PCI settings. This was recently posted about on freebsd-chat. According to one of the web sites, you can work around it by disabling 2 PCI features in your BIOS, and setting the time-on to 32ms or less. Also on a CMD640B; the fix for that one is to not use the second channel on the IDE controller, and stick a third party disk controller card in one of the slots, instead. Also on a disk on a seondary channel that wasn't jumpered for slave mode, and when mixing disks from two manufacturers (no your problem, if both are WD). -- Terry _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
