Description J. Barth 2012-06-07 20:30:20 UTC 
Dear reader,

i'm using an old Pentium III 800 MHz with Gigabyte GA-6vx7-4x mainboard and an "old style" 40 wire ata cable.

This causes during boot from hard disk many, many errors like:

g_vfs_done():adaXsXa[READ(offset=..., length=65536)]errror = 5

tried disabling mainboard pheriperals (including used interrupts) etc.

Trying your friend NetBSD was telling somthing about "non 80 wire cable, switching down to UDMA33).

Now, the solution was clear: using a 80 wire cable, the problem disappeared.

Perhaps there should be a automatic behaviour like netbsd.

Kind regards,
J. Barth
