Given that, this is likely a pretty old motherboard. All of my hardware is max 2 months old - board, disk, RAM, DVD drive,=20 cabinet, PSU. The motherboard is a brand new Gigabyte SB970 based, and=20 the disk a 2 month old Samsung EVO 850 SSD. The CPU is relatively old -=20 something like 3 years old - Athlon X2 270 Regor. Further proof for your inclination that the error is not related to=20 scanner : occasionally (but not always) when I boot up, I see this on=20 the console - with the scanner still powered off : (ada0:ata0:0:1:0): READ_DMA48.

The newest things in the system are the PSU, cabinet, RAM, and DVD drive=20 - all swapped just yesterday. Could the DVD drive be the source ? Returning to the scanner, I have been running 'scanimage -L' as root.=20 Between 0 and 4 times in succession, the command reports normal output : /root <<: scanimage -L device `pixma:04A9176C_43130B' is a CANON Canon PIXMA MG2400 Series=20 multi-function peripheral If the scanner works on XP, the hardware is fine.

I am really struggling - just invested=20 something like USD 600 on a total system upgrade to make this superslick=20 machine. But it's all turning to ashes if the hardware starts going=20 bonkers already. Would you suggest I wait a while for some further proof to accumulate;=20 or I should try making a fresh install of FreeBSD 10.2/11 (my current=20 system 10.3). Unrelated to this, there is a bug in 10.3 amd64 install - most of the=20 times I have set up 10.3, the installer forgets to put the boot code in=20 the MBR. So immediately after install, I have to run a live shell and=20 run boot0cfg to get the boot code there. Thanks again Manish Jain
