Yup. I have the same thing.

What I do is go in to the BIOS and set the slave drive
from Auto to None when I want to boot from the first
drive, and switch it back when I want to boot from the
second drive. Kind of a pain, but it works...

Thanks - good idea.  I have the drives in removable racks,
so I've been unplugging ad1 when I want to boot 4.9. 


I think it's just symptomatic of the nforce2 chipset which
is only partially supported due to nvidia's refusal or
inability to release proper specs.

There was a post about sending email to ASUS and/or NVidia
to encourage them to share with the community.  I'm ready. 
Now if I can only find that link/message again... (;-)

I didn't have any trouble with the cd booting.  I've got it
set up as my secondary ata master.  It sees my ad0 fine, and
then hangs before showing the drive type for ad1.

This post had ad0 hang using a GA - 8SG800 motherboard.
Maybe also an nforce2 chipset?

I could swear there were others, but the only ones that I could
find quickly were about cdrom problems, not hard drives.

... 4.9 hangs on boot with: ...
  ad1: READ command timeout tag=0 serv=0 - resetting
 ata0: resetting devices

 I've seen what looks like similar problems in the archives (e.g.,
 http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/mid.cgi?188200406.20031109073901).
 It seems to happen on various motherboards and disk configurations.
  I wanted to provide another datapoint for configurations.

4.9 ATA hangs with 2 ata drives

2003-12-01 Thread J S Goldberg

I've got both 4.9 and 5.1 loaded on my new ASUS A7N8X Deluxe
with two 160Gb disks on the primary ATA controller.  5.1 does
much better handling both ATA disks.  When I run 4.9 with the
second disk connected, it hangs during kernel boot after the
message:

ad1: READ command timeout tag=0 serv=0 - resetting
ata0: resetting devices  

I've seen what looks like similar problems in the archives (e.g.,
http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/mid.cgi?188200406.20031109073901).
It seems to happen on various motherboards and disk configurations.
I wanted to provide another datapoint for configurations.

My 4.9 came from the CD image downloaded from the ftp site last
week (weds).  5.1 came from the subscription CD. 

The questions are:
1. Has anyone gotten a similar configuration working on 4.9?
2. Will it make a difference to CVSup?

Thanks in advance!

Yup. I have the same thing.

What I do is go in to the BIOS and set the slave drive
from Auto to None when I want to boot from the first
drive, and switch it back when I want to boot from the

I think it's just symptomatic of the nforce2 chipset which
