I just recently got FreeBSD 5.0 and I can't get it to install. When it's listing my devices in the very beginning it does fine untill it hits my HP CD-Writer Plus 9100i. Then it just freezes. Not even an error message. If version 4.6 I at least got a "non-ATA66 cable or device" error, and I fixed that by changing the PIO on that drive from Auto to Mode0. This doesn't work for 5.0 though. I have tried the following commands in vain: set hw.ata.ata_dma="1" set hw.ata.atapi_dma="1" and set hint.foo.0.disabled I also tried the other PIO modes with no luck. I tried changing the access mode from Auto to LBA, CHS, and Large. I'm outta ideas now. Here's my ide setup: Primary Master - IBM 40 gb hard drive Primary Slave - Liteon CD-Rom Secondary Master - Maxtor 20 gb hard drive Secondary Slave - HP CD-Writer Plus 9100i My BIOS is "Phoenix-Award BIOS v6.00PG" and my motherboard is a Jetway 603TCFL with Pentium III 1.1 ghz and via chipset. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
