i've had similar errors on two different 4801s with: --- wd1 at pciide0 channel 0 drive 1: <FUJITSU MHV2040AT> wd1: 16-sector PIO, LBA, 38154MB, 78140160 sectors wd1(pciide0:0:1): using PIO mode 4, Ultra-DMA mode 2 --- ( a flash card is my wd0 ). on regular hosts when i've had timeout writing fsbns, i've found causes are *usually* either cabling or powersaving ( for me ). every time i see that error on one of the soekrises i have, all i can see in my mind is that little 1/2" IDE dongle that you get in the soekris IDE kit.... i can't help not trusting that little thing. if it happens for you constantly ( i also have gotten them out during an upgrade ), and you're questioning the drive; i'd think of trying to get one of those 44<->40 pin dongles and hooking the drive to a real host and seeing if it seems like the drive. -- jared [ openbsd 3.9-current GENERIC ( mar 15 ) // i386 ]
