Hi all,
I'm trying to install FreeBSD 7.0 release on a box at home.
When I boot up with the installation DVD these error messages appear on
the screen.
[Written down by hand:]
ad1: FAILURE - READ_DMA status=51READY,DSC,ERROR
error=84ICRC,ABORTED LBA=0055347
ad0: FAILURE - READ_DMA status=51READY,DSC,ERROR
error=84ICRC,ABORTED LBA=0
etc
etc
FreeBSD sees these hard disks during boot up:
ad0: 78533MB Hitachi HDS728080PLAT20 PF20A21B at ata0-master UDMA133
ad1: 32253MB Samsung SP2014N VC100-33 at ata0-slave UDMA100 [This is
wrong, the disk have a capacity of about 185 GB]
So, when I go on with the installation program and try to write to disk
the new slices and labels in fdisk I get an error message saying
something like not able to write to the disk.
I don't think there is something wrong with my hardware, because I just
have recently installed both Windows XP and Slackware Linux on the same
box, without any problems.
Does anybody have any idea to fix these problems?
regards,

Try to replace the IDE ribbon cable.
