It may also be FIC mobo, of which we've > had such glowing reviews of late (after glow from being roasted :-). The original point was that the troubles weren't necessarily chipset-specific or mobo specific. There is probably some code that needs to be dealt with. I have never had trouble with my FIC mobo at all. I keep my primary ata channel dedicated to the hd, and my second is used for cdroms and whatever other device I connect to the bus. If you are connecting four devices to your IDE bus and maxing it out that may be causing trouble. I never really recommend more than one UDMA hard drive on a channel due to performance concerns, and also that sometimes masters don't get along with their slaves. Of course, this shouldn't cause problems, but who knows? --cokane > > Maybe I should moderate the UPDATING entry I made? > > Warner > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
