OK, does dmesg still give this with the cdrom removed: ad0: DMA limited to UDMA33, device found non-ATA66 cable ad0: 39205MB at ata0-master UDMA33 acd0: CDROM at ata0-slave PIO4 ad2: 190782MB at ata1-master UDMA100 ad3: 286168MB at ata1-slave UDMA100 Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/ad0s1a If the message for ad0 has changed, and it is now detected as an ata100 device and is running at UDMA100, you've solved part of your problem. Your system will access the boot drive at a higher speed. ad3 is still detected but you can't access it. So, I have to ask: when you set up the system, did you install a ufs system on it? Did you carve it up using bsdlabel? Or, did you leave it alone because you plane on using it for something else? This would be a reason for why it shows up on dmesg, but you can't access it. Now, you need to do something about the cdrom. It's kind of unhandy to be without one. That's why I asked if you really needed the 40GB Maxtor and if you did, suggested you get an ata controller card, then you could use all three drives. And I also asked if you could just remove that drive and use the two Seagates. I guess there's one other question: how did you get from 5.4 to 6.0, and is it 6.0 or is it 6 STABLE?

You can answer me tomorrow if you like but here is an update: I removed the cdrom and the problem remains. I got the usb ports to work as well by updating the bios and fiddling with some settings. It is truly a mystery why this 300 GB drive cannot talk to FreeBSD. Again, it is detected fine by the bios; it passes dos level diagnostics; it is on the same ide cable (as slave) as the 200 GB drive that is identical to it save for an extra 100 GB. My next step is to boot with knoppix to see how it behaves. -- Peter __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

You have to change the pc bios setup to boot from the cd drive instead of from the hard drive. The pc will then boot from the 6.0 cd and install 6.0 destroying the 5.2 system on the hard drive along with any user data you had. After 6.0 is installed you have to change the bios back to booting from the hard drive. Be sure you have a backup of any user data on the 5.2 system you want saved. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org]On Behalf Of ehrhard.herbst@sz-online.de Sent: Saturday, March 11, 2006 5:44 PM To: questions@FreeBSD.org Subject: Problem Installing FreeBSD 6.0, asking for help Hello, may I ask you for help with the following Problem: When I try to install FreeBsd6.0, there is the following error during the boot process (because the system is not able to boot from CD, I have to boot from floppy) occurs: ahc0: probe1:ahc0:0:1:0: SCB 6: immediate reset Flags 0x620 ahc0: probe1:ahc0:0:1:0: No longer in timeout, status=25b ahc0: Issued channel A bus reset, SCBs 6 aborted. ... ... ...
