Here are new information regarding my problem of this IDE hard drive uncorrectly recognized by FreeBSD. I am currently using FreeBSD 3.2-RELEASE and during the boot phase, I have the following message : wd1: size unknown, using fake values wd1: 0MB (17 sectors), 1 cyls, 1 heads, 17 S/T, 512 B/S This wd1 is recognized by the BIOS as Conner Peripherals 850MB - CFS850A I am able to partition it and format it under Windows on this same machine. Booting using a 2.2.5R boot floppy result in the same message. This hard drive has already run under FreeBSD with no troubles but on a different machine some the problem may come from the controller. Here are the messages I have booting in verbose mode : CPU: AMD-K6(tm) 3D processor (350.80-MHz 586-class CPU) .... found-> vendor=0x10b9, dev=0x5229, revid=0xc1 class=01-01-fa, hdrtype=0x00, mfdev=0 subordinatebus=0 secondarybus=0 intpin=a, irq=0 map[0]: type 4, range 32, base 0000f000, size 4 ide_pci0: rev 0xc1 int a irq 0 on pci0.15.0 ide_pci: busmaster 0 status: a4 from port: 0000f002 ide_pci: ide0:0 has been configured for DMA by BIOS ide_pci: busmaster 1 status: 84 from port: 0000f00a .... wdc0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7 irq 14 on isa wdc0: unit 0 (wd0): wd0: 4111MB (8420832 sectors), 8354 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S wd0: ATA INQUIRE valid = 0007, dmamword = 0407, apio = 0003, udma = 0007 wdc0: unit 1 (wd1): wd1: size unknown, using fake values wd1: 0MB (17 sectors), 1 cyls, 1 heads, 17 S/T, 512 B/S wd1: ATA INQUIRE valid = 0000, dmamword = 0000, apio = 0000, udma = 0000 wdc1 at 0x170-0x177 irq 15 on isa wdc1: unit 0 (atapi): , removable, accel, ovlap, dma, iordy .... I have been able to use Fdisk on this hard drive anyway but not disklabel (from sysinstall) ! Any help will be greatly appreciate! Thanks Phil.
