That system was running 4.x without any problems for over 2 years. When I planned to install 5.3 I got the error below. I thought at first it's HD jumper settings not that I changed the current settings Then I thought it's the IDE bus. I did further debugging. I installed different types of Linux and Windows 2k and I got no problem with the HD. I'm able to install FreeBSD 5.1 and any prior release with no problem. I read some threads about 5.3 having problems with some IDEs. If that's the case, what is your suggestion ? I want to take advantage of the nice features in 5.3 plus I got my DVD burner identified for the first time under 5.3. After I boot from CD to proceed with a clean install. When I get hardware probing, as I reach the 'ata' part I get the message below and everything just freeze there.

Have you downloaded Wdc_cfg.zip from the Western Digital website and firmware updated your EIDE drive? Go to software drivers, WD Caviar 7200RPM, IDE RAID compatibility upgrade, Non-3ware cards. While this is supposed to help only for RAID it might help for you. Apparently WD introduced some goofy timeout thing for these drives to reduces idle acoustic noise in desktop drives Ted ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
