When it comes to booting from the drive, it's geometry is detected as 0 = sectors, 0 heads, 0 cylynders, 0 mb and of course failts to boot. = (Geometry during install is correct). If I then boot off a cd or usb and = mount the drive, it works just fine, and everything from the = installation is on it, similarly copy to/from the drive is fine as well. I've had other OS installed on the drive (same system) no problem, and = it seems it's only having issues on FreeBSD during boot. Any ideas, = pointers? I don't know if it makes any difference, but the CD I install = from is a USB cdrom. I've also tried playing with ata timeouts, but it = didn't seem to help. There is no raid involved. I have two machines like = this, and both behave identically. The errors from dmesg during boot are: ad0: 0MB at ata0-master SATA150 ad0: FAILURE - READ_DMA48 status=3D51 = error=3D10 LBA=3D18446744073709551613 ad0: FAILURE - READ_DMA status=3D51 = error=3D10 LBA=3D18446744073709551613 ad0: FAILURE - READ_DMA status=3D51 = error=3D10 LBA=3D18446744073709551599 ad0: FAILURE - READ_DMA status=3D51 = error=3D10 LBA=3D18446744073709551612 ad0: FAILURE - READ_DMA status=3D51 = error=3D10 LBA=3D18446744073709551615 ad0: FAILURE - READ_DMA48 status=3D51 = error=3D10 LBA=3D18446744073709551553 Thank you, Mayo Jordanov=
