I am attempting to install 7.1-BETA2 (from CD) onto a PC with a Promise SX4060 RAID controller and two Seagate 120GB ATA disk drives. The boot from CD keeps repeating the following (error) messages: (I'm retyping here) ============================================================================ ================== ad4: WARNING - SETFEATURES SET TRANSFER MODE task queue timeout - completing request directly ad4: WARNING - SETFEATURES ENABLE RCACHE task queue timeout - completing request directly ad4: WARNING - SETFEATURES ENABLE WCACHE task queue timeout - completing request directly ad4: WARNING - SET_MULTI task queue timeout - completing request directly ad4: FAILURE - READ timed out LBA=0 ad4: FAILURE - READ retrying (1 retry left) LBA=0 ad4: FAILURE - READ timed out LBA=0 ad4: FAILURE - READ retrying (0 retries left) LBA=0 ad4: FAILURE - SETFEATURES SET TRANSFER MODE timed out ad4: FAILURE - SETFEATURES ENABLE RCACHE timed out ad4: FAILURE - SETFEATURES ENABLE WCACHE timed out ad4: FAILURE - SETFEATURES SET_MULTI timed out ad4: 114473MB <Seagate ST3120814A 3.AAJ> at ata2-master PIO4 ad8: WARNING - SETFEATURES SET TRANSFER MODE task queue timeout - completing request directly ad8: WARNING - SETFEATURES ENABLE RCACHE task queue timeout - completing request directly ad8: WARNING - SETFEATURES ENABLE WCACHE task queue timeout - completing request directly ad8: WARNING - SET_MULTI task queue timeout - completing request directly ad8: FAILURE - READ timed out LBA=0 ad8: FAILURE - READ retrying (1 retry left) LBA=0 ad8: FAILURE - READ timed out LBA=0 ad8: FAILURE - READ retrying (0 retries left) LBA=0 ad8: FAILURE - SETFEATURES SET TRANSFER MODE timed out ad8: FAILURE - SETFEATURES ENABLE RCACHE timed out ad8: FAILURE - SETFEATURES ENABLE WCACHE timed out ad8: FAILURE - SETFEATURES SET_MULTI timed out ad8: 114473MB <Seagate ST3120814A 3.AAJ> at ata4-master PIO4 ============================================================================ ================== and then these messages (and minor variants) keep repeating (I've let it go for at least one hour). I have about three dozen of these computers (from a failed M$ project) and would very much like to use them with FreeBSD. Any ideas? I'm game for almost anything. Thanks.
