Hi !! everyone,

i still could not try to test with OpenBSD-3.5 but in the meanwhile
i used FreeBSD-amd64BETA6 with still the same error:

ad0: FAILURE READ_DMA status=3D51 ..... error=3D40 <UNCORRECTABLE> LBA=3D64
=2E...
ad0: TIMEOUT READ_DMA retrying ( 2 retries left ) LBA=3D320172993
ATAPI_RESET time=3D3170us

when it boots the kernel from acd0.

when then i do all the procedure to install the system through sysinstall
i get as error:

Unable to find device node for /dev/ad0s1b in /dev!

=2E..

I also changed the cable, and i know HD was working because I used it before
with another system, still is pretty new !
So, now my intention is to try to use another HD, probably a SATA device
But i could not find reference to my controllers in the HARDWARE.HTM of the
release notes.

these are:

atapci0: < PROMISE PDC20378 SATA150 controller >
ata2: on atapci0
ata3: on atapci0
ata4: on atapci0

atapci1: < VIA 6420 SATA150 controller >
ata5: on atapci1
ata6: on atapci1

atapci2: < VIA 8237 UDMA133 controller >
ata0: on atapci2
ata1: on atapci2

so i though of installing a SATA HD instead when i would find the
above controllers to be supported.

any hints ? :)

thanks a G,
alex
