HOwdy, I just got myself a UDMA66 controller for my P166, due to the onboard = hdd controller dying slowly but surely. I've plugged the card on, turned off the old controller, and then = attached the drives... The new controller sees the drives with no = problems (a 15 gig, and a 30 gig) But when I come to boot the machine up, it all goes normally - finds the = new controller card no problem; until it comes to mount the root = partition, where I get the following; [snip] ad4:14594MB <ST513320A> [29691/16/63] at ata2-MASTER using DMA66 ad5:29188MB <ST330630A> [59303/16/64] at ata2-SLAVE using DMA66 Mounting root from ufs:/dev/ad0s1a Root mount failed: 6 Mounting root from ufs:wd0s1a Root mount failed: 6 Mounting root from ufs:ws0a then it jumps to a "Manual root file system specification" program, and = gives me options there, and of course, I wouldn't have a clue what to = type for any of it THe above happens when I try in boot -s When I at the boot loader go to the command prompt, and do a lsdev, it = lists the drives as; disk1s1a: FFS 100 MB etc etc etc (I hope that I've included enough detail for someone to help me with my = problem- if I need to include more detail, please tell me ;-) - I would = like to fix/get this fixed) regards james To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
