I'm running a PII 400 on an Asus P2B-F motherboard. I have conectted my hard drive to the primary IDE controller and my CD-ROM to the secondary. At this point it fails to detect the CD-ROM at all. I get an error in sys. devices indicating that my ide secondary controller(dual fifo) is not funtioning properly. I do not want to daisy chain my CD-ROM to my hard drive as I understand that since I am running a 7200 rpm drive it will not run at the proper speed if configured this way. What should I do to correct the problem? Any help would be great. David Biggs To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
