Hi there. I've been using FreeBSD 5.2.1 for a while now and just tried an upgrade to current. I now get a timeout during boot when it tries to detect the devices on the primary ATA channel. If I move the boot device to the secondary channel it works fine. But I need devices on the primary channel working. I've ruled out the cables and disks, as devices/cables that are fine on channel 0 are not fine on channel 1. The motherboard is a Gigabyte 6VX-4X - making the controller a VIA 82C686A. I've had trouble with the USB ports on this motherboard... is this ATA chipset known to be dodgy?... in which case I'll just get a PCI based controller - or is there something else obviously wrong? The error during boot is: FAILURE - ATA_IDENTIFY timed out Many thanks JakeReceived on Fri Oct 29 2004 - 16:27:11 UTC
