Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-bugs->sos Assign to ATA maintainer State Changed From-To: open->closed This sounds like HW problem sof sorts to me, but try updateing as the ATA driver changed radically betwee 4.6 and 4.7. |
Primary IDE drive: ad0 19092MB <WDC WD200BB-75CAA0> [38791/16/63] at ata0-master BIOSDMA Secondary IDE drive: Seemingly and either new enough (or large enough) I have not figured out which is the more important factor. Upon install I get the following: ad1: READ command timeout tag=0 serv=0 - resetting ata0: resetting devices I originally thought the problem was only with Western Digital Drives but I have been able to repeat with any drive that is big enough. It seems to only occur when a drive is connected on the primary IDE cable with another drive. A small (4Gig) drive (Maxtor) connected as "ad1" does not cause the problem to be exibited. The bottom line is that the OS cannot be installed if a drive of sufficient size or new enough is connected as the second drive on the first IDE chain. Windows can see and work with both drives. How-To-Repeat: Try the install again.
