Hi, Please take a look at the gnats database, especially the two entries
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=kern/42228 http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=i386/43222 which both discusses this problem, with one quick and dirty solution (my), and one more elaborate version. The quick and dirty solution does not work on 4.7-RELEASE and 5.0. Please be advised that my tests with 4.7-RELEASE indicates that it does not even recognize the RZ1000 controller when booting the floppy (which 4.6-RELEASE obviously does). I have a Plato board, which is set to disable the pci ata controller. This board runs both 4.7-STABLE and 5.0-STABLE with the ata driver without problems (but not using the RZ1000 chip). Maybe you can disable the RZ1000 in the same way. best regards /Kent At 12:48 2003-01-21 -0800, device timeout wrote:
hi, I've been using freebsd for a while and I've had no problems right until 4.6-RELEASE, when after the installation, the machine wouldn't boot, because the ata driver could not attach my RZ1000 IDE controller. To be exact, it would detect ata1 (second IDE channel) as ata0 and try to boot off the CD-ROM drive attached there as master. What I did then was switch the cables around, so that my two hard drives are attached to ata1 (ata0, as detected by freebsd) and it would boot fine. Also, when booting off the kern.flp floppy, the ata driver attaches fine, finding every drive I have. : So my questions are: did anyone experience the same problems? Also, is there any way I could obtain the kernel configuration file for the boot floppy (kern.flp)? Here are some of the messages I get when trying to boot 5.0-RELEASE: ... atapci0: Busmastering DMA not supported atapci0: Busmastering DMA disabled ata2: at 0x1f0 on atapci0 (I have only one 2-channel IDE controller) device_probe_and_attach: ata2 attach returned 6 ... ata1 at port 0x376,0x170-0x177 irq 15 on isa0 ... acd0: failure to execute ATAPI packet command acd0: CDROM <NEC CD-ROM DRIVE:273> at ata1-master BIOSPIO after this, I get the prompt to input the root device manually. any ideas? ps: for direct replies, please write to [EMAIL PROTECTED] best regards, anton __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
