Gibbs" Cc: questions@FreeBSD.org In-Reply-To: <199503140208.SAA00954@estienne.cs.berkeley.edu> Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Well, I low level formated my hard drive with extended translation turned off. I was able to install the file system, but a new problem has appeared. When I start to install the files from the CDROM everything goes ok for a while then I get the error message: Ahc0: target 4, lun0 (CD0) timed out Abort unsupported!!! After this happens the system hangs BIG TIME. Even after a cold boot, the controller card refuses to recognize either the hard or the CDROM drive. I found that by removing the card from the system and replacing it the problem will clear. I went through the whole scene three times. Same result all three times. STRANGE. :-o I can exit to the shell and everything looks ok. I can ls the file system, ect... I tried installing the man pages instead of the bindist just for kicks the last time, same result. The system appears to be installing the files, and then crashes. I tried turning off all BIOS shadowing and caching, same result. This is all very discouraging, I hope you have some ideas... Thanks again, Joe
