In the immortal words of Gary Corcoran on 05/22/07 08:31:
I've had drives go bad, such that upon powerup, the Promise controller BIOS
wouldn't even see the drive. And later, as the drive got closer to death,
it started making the *other* drive on the same IDE cable also "fail".
Removing the dying/dead drive from the cable made the other drive work
again.
I've taken the drives out and hooked them up to a different connector
(external USB2) and they work flawlessly, they are also only about 3
months old and quite underused as the machine they are in spends more
time offline than online.
I'd look into the possible need to replace one of your disk drives...
I'm quite sure the drives are fine. It's either an incompatibility with
the FreeBSD & the promise card, or the mainboard is actually on its last
legs.
I'm going to have to see if I can chase up another board today and see
if that helps.
Cheers
Tim
