: you said the same drive boots fine from freebsd 4.9? what was the dmesg

: drive, the controller line looks o.k.

Actually, that dmesg is from 4.8.

Here is DFly.  But I won't have DFly up and running again until next week.


atapci0: <Intel PIIX4 ATA33 controller> port 0xfe60-0xfe6f at device 7.1 on pci0
ata0: at 0x1f0 irq 14 on atapci0
installed MI handler for int 14
ata1: at 0x170 irq 15 on atapci0
installed MI handler for int 15

This is the message I get from DFly with this drive.  As I said, the same
drive under FBSD has no problem during heavy loads.  I have only seen this
timeout under DFly.  I thought the drive was going because the laptop is 5
years old or more.  But when I reinstalled 4.8, the problem went away.

What can I do to help fix the problem?  I have a little driver experience
with the Zip Plus code.
