Hello!!! I hope someone will help this time too:) I have FreeBSD 2.2.1 installed on a PC with the following config: Asus TXP4 motherboard 64MB SDRAM Pentium 233MMX AHA2490UW Quantum Atlas II SCSI HHD 3c509 3com Ethernet combo card S3 765 video card some SCSI cd-rom (a good one) It works ( or worked ?) just fine. But now i decided to add an IDE drive for some not so important data backup and data exchange (the IDE HDD is installed in a removable rack) So, since the HDD was totaly new one, i ran /stand/sysinstall Created a new slice, then went back to lable editor and created there a file system which is mounted in /backup, and there i encountered a problem! It could not mount an fs and said that partition was not ready. Then i tried to do the whole thing manually using newfs, disklable and mount.. same stuff, eveything works, but mount says that the partition is not ready ane cannot mount it. Since i needed that backup disk really badly, i decided to install a new FreeBSD system on another pc (i had to do it anyway), and before i installed it there, I put this HDD in it, so the install would create a new fs on it as well as all others. The machine i was going to install bsd on was the same config, except it didn't have scsi at all. It had ide hdd and ide cd-rom. When i started install, i got the same problem. First after parttion editor it said everything is ok, but when i pressed W in labeleditor i said it cannot access swap partition cuz the device wasn't configured and then it said that root fs cannot be created at all. Tty1 said that partition 'a' was not ready. I tried installing several times, changed geometry between what install detected and what it really is, tried not changing partitions and went to fs editor. Then it actually worked for some time (install root fs and swap), but said that it cannot mount /usr cuz device is not ready. I tried installing from a bootable CD-ROM, and from bootable flopy from cdrom, from scisi cdrom. All the same. I don't have a clue what is going on. Sometime ago I installed FreeBSD 2.1.5 without any problem at home on a fully IDE pc. All of that i tried to do with WD 31200 and Quantum Fireball HDDs. If someone has a smallest idea what is going on, please respond! There must be life out there! HELP!
