I want to use FreeBSD at my home pc as my mainstay OS but I'm having
problems upgrading to STABLE.  My earlier postings to this list haven't
received any replies yet so I'm again sending a request for assistance.

My home pc config is:

Gigabyte 6BXC with 128M ram, 8G hd, a Matrox G200 AGP vid card


I have used fbsd 4.0 and 4.1 release versions and both of them would
give me the following messages:

ata0-master: TIMEOUT: device has disappeared!


Either I'm doing a "make build" or "cvsup stable-supfile".  I've already
swapped the hd between the primary and secondary ide controllers and
still get the message.  The only thing left is to find a hard disk to
try out but hard disks are expensive in this part of the world so I was
wondering if my analysis is correct that the hard disk is at fault
before I commit and buy a new harddisk.

Appreciate any help.
