    Greetings:

    what is the process to compile a kernel for a slower machine with a
    small disk from a faster machine with lots of disk. So far I have
    created a KERNCONF file for the slow machine. I have done a make
    buildkernel KERNCONF=SLOW_MACHINE

    Thanks,
    BH

      ... The build completes fine, the kernel boots fine, the machine will seem to be fine as long as it remains quiescent. ... At the beginning, just after hitting enter on the make command, one of the ad4 disk light goes on solid for several seconds. ... There is a well known thing where these cheap pata fakeraid cards will try to do ata133 if the drive says it can, when really, even if he drives are new ata133 drives and the cables are new and short and shielded, you still shouldn't try to do ata133 since the spec is too tight and you'll just get bit errors or other failures. ... The fix is use ata100 somehow, either by disabling dma entirely in loader.conf (since you have no more selective option there, and the raid card bios never has an option for controlling pio/dma mode like motherboard bios's have) and then use atacontrol in rc.early to set udma5, or by using disks that can only do ata100 and only advertise ata100 to the controller. ...
