This will happen sometimes if the cable is reversed. There is one connector that should be labeled specifically for the motherboard (or is sometimes a different color). If a standard 3 connector cable, its the one by itself, vs the 2 that are spaced a few inches apart.
Maybe people reverse the cable because of length problems (speaking from experience...). > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ugo > Bellavance > Sent: Thursday, July 24, 2003 7:58 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: DMA limited to UDMA33, non-ATA66 cable or device > > > Hi, > > --System > FreeBSD 4.8 release > It is a kernel that I recompiled only to enable SMP. > The same error comes with the generic stock generic > Kernel. > It is a dual Athlon MP 1800+ on a tyan MB.
