I'm setting up a new server on 6.0 I've been planning for a long time and I am very disappointed with two critical issues. My motherboard is the ASUS K8V-X SE that I chose because it was listed as compatible at the FreeBSD/amd64 Project: http://www.freebsd.org/platforms/amd64/motherboards.html I wonder if going back to 5.4 might help? Onto the problems... 1. I have 4 IDE drives: primary controller: Maxtor 40 GB hd (master) and LG cdrom (slave) secondary controller: Seagate Barracuda 200 GB hd (master) and Seagate Barracuda 300 GB (slave) Problem: The 300 GB drive is unusable. I set it up ok with sysinstall during the installation but the system will not boot properly if it has an entry in /etc/fstab. I get many errors like: "ad3: WARNING - READ_DMA UDMA ICRC error (retrying request) LBA=63" I also get input/output error if I try to examine its label with disklabel. dmesg output is at the end of this post when I booted without fstab line. The strange thing is that the two drives on the secondary controller are so similar. Same manufacturer, same product line, the speeds are the same. Everything is the same except the size. I ran dos-level diagnostics on it and no problems were found. 2. I can't use my USB ports! I get a line like this for each of my ports: uhci0: <VIA 83C572 USB controller> port 0xb800-0xb81f irq 21 at device 16.0 on pci0 uhci0: [GIANT-LOCKED] Copyright (c) 1992-2005 The FreeBSD Project.
