sounds plausible, but then again, I DID try : - hw.ata.atapi_dma to "0" or "1" in /boot/loader.conf - hw.ata.ata_dma to "0" or "1" in /boot/loader.conf the HDD (a 2 year old 40 GB maxtor) works fine in pio mode.. It would be great if the ATA driver author could find some time/energy to look into this.. cheers, Fierman _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
