Hello,

I've run into some problems while I was trying to install freebsd
6.1 (i386). When I've finished partitioning and the installer
wants to write the partition data to disk, it fails to do so. I
used the typical settings, ie one slice on the disc, with a
default partitioning scheme (except that I merged the /tmp with
/var).

The installer reports: unable to find device node for
/dev/ad0s1b.

I tried to use another hard disk, which resulted in the same
error.

On VTY1 I got the following messages: ad0: WARNING - READ_DMA
UDMA ICRC error (retrying request) LBA=63 ad0: WARNING - READ_DMA

System information: Athlon XP 1700+ / 786 MB Asus A7V266 (bios
v1.11) Maxtor 60 GB

Has anyone any suggestions?

Thanks,

Freek

I'd try a different cable for the drive. If that doesn't fix it
the controller on the motherboard is probably bad.
Hi!

If you are using a 40-pin cable and changing to another 40-pin doesn't
help, test with a 80-pin cable. FreeBSD can be a bit picky about that.
