freebsd stable - May 2005 - 5.4RELEASE: problem with my ST34311A UDMA666 controller

Hello,

On one of my computers, the 5.4 RELEASE bootonly disc don't want to write on
my hdd.
The same hdd is ok whith other computer.
I have the same log whith 2 another hdd :

atapci0: <VIA 82C686A UDMA666 controller> port
0xffa0-0xffaf,0x376,0x170-0x177,0x3f6,0x1f0-0x1f7 at device 7.1 on pci0
ata0: channel #0 on atapci0
...
ad0: 4104MB <ST34311A/6.01> [8895/15/63] at ata0-master UDMA66
ad0: WARNING - READ_DMA UDMA ICRC error (retrying request) LBA=63
ad0: WARNING - READ_DMA UDMA ICRC error (retrying request) LBA=63
ad0: FAILURE - READ_DMA status=51<READY,DSC,ERROR>
error=48<ICRC,ABORTED> LBA=63

It's my first attempt to install freebsd on this computer.

Hello,
try and switch the mode to PIO. You can use atacontrol when the 
system is running. Try and set the PIO in the BIOS to boot without DMA.

Cheers,
Vladimir

Hello,

my problem was due to a bad ide cable. I replace it and all work well.
I am surprised , this cable was ok with linux.

This is not something new or unexpected. Windows are Linux run happily 
on a lot of garbage grade hardware. But FreeBSD is very fussy about 
hardware. Thats the reason why a Linux box CAN create strange situations 
due to hardware. But a FreeBSD box would not even be ready to boot up if 
it does not find everything in tiptop condition.
