Hi!
I'm having problems installing FreeBSD 4.8. After the Kernel configuration
page, the system hangs with these messages:
ad0: [the-name-of-my-hd] at ata0 -master BIOSDMA
ad1: READ command timeout tag=0 serv=0 -resetting
ata0: resetting devices
And that's it. The machine just sits there like a dog that's been shown a card
trick.
I have succesfully installed FreeBSD by disconnecting the master and setting
the slave as master, but I would like to use them both.
Please provide hardware details. It's likely that those two drives won't work
on the same controller. I've heard rumors of older drives not playing nice
with newer drives on the same controller. Are you sure the first drive works
at all?
Any Bios settings that would help?
Don't know of any. But you might want to scan the ATA/IDE section of your BIOS
to see if there's anything that might be useful. Perhaps if you can force it
to a slower speed (ATA33 for example) it would work ... but I'm just guessing.
