--Boundary-00=_3TYlE2jv/+d+xiV Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline Hi, Whenever I try to boot my desktop workstation with FreeBSD, it suddenly just hangs there forever. When I boot into safe mode, however, I get this in the dmesg: Jun 18 16:01:46 b00b kernel: ad8: 114473MB <Seagate ST3120022A 3.06> at ata4-master PIO4 Jun 18 16:01:46 b00b kernel: ad8: FAILURE - READ timed out LBA=234441585 Jun 18 16:01:46 b00b kernel: ad8: TIMEOUT - READ retrying (1 retry left) LBA=0 Jun 18 16:01:46 b00b kernel: ad8: FAILURE - READ timed out LBA=234441631 Jun 18 16:01:46 b00b kernel: ad8: TIMEOUT - READ retrying (0 retries left) LBA=0 Jun 18 16:01:46 b00b kernel: ad8: FAILURE - READ timed out LBA=234441644 Jun 18 16:01:46 b00b kernel: ad8: FAILURE - READ timed out LBA=0 Jun 18 16:01:46 b00b kernel: ad8: FAILURE - READ timed out LBA=234441585 Jun 18 16:01:46 b00b kernel: ad8: TIMEOUT - READ retrying (1 retry left) LBA=0 The hard drive is connected to an onboard Promise FastTrak (atapci1: <Promise PDC20376 SATA150 controller> port 0x8000-0x803f,0x7800-0x780f,0x7400-0x747f mem 0xab800000-0xab800fff,0xab000000-0xab01ffff irq 11 at device 14.0 on pci0) controller on my Asus p4s8x motherboard. The drive itself is connected to the optional PATA connector, which works wonderfully in Windows. I've currently managed to install Xorg and KDE on the box, all entirely in Safe Mode, but the performance is really bad, or not as good as it should be on a PC with a Pentium IV 2.4GHz and 1GB PC3200 RAM. Googling yields irrelevant results to my case, and search results for "freebsd p4s8x" (no quotes) indicate that FreeBSD should be working OK with my motherboard and all of its native components. So, does anybody know how to a) Fix this issue (or, if not) b) How to prevent a specific device (atapci1 or ad8) from being loaded during boot time? Again, googling yields no results, but I might be querying the wrong strings. Attached is my dmesg.boot Thanks for any help. --Boundary-00=_3TYlE2jv/+d+xiV--
