First off, thanks for the show guys. Very entertaining and informative.
I recently watched episode Episode 2x02 and decided to give FreeNAS a shot. I have zero LINUX experience, but figured the setup looked easy enough.
My old PC recognizes the CF card:
Primary IDE Master [LEXMAR ATA FLASH- (PM)]
Type = Auto
Maximum Capacity = 82MB
Multi-Sector Transfers = [Disabled]
LBA Mode Control = [Disabled]
Transfer Mode = [Fast PIO 4 ]
Ultra DMA = [Disabled]
But....
During the boot from CD I noticed:
ad0: FAILURE - SETFEATURES SET TRANSFER MODE status=51<READY,DSC,ERROR> error=4<ABORTED>
After the installation, I get simply "Read error".
After reading everything on the FreeNAS forums, I tried modifying the loader.conf file to include a line to force LINUX to disable DMA to agree with BIOS:
hw.ata.ata_dma="0"
No dice.
Any thoughts? The CF was pulled from a working camera. The adapter is new. I'm stuck.
What PC/BIOS did you guys use in your demo?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Jeff
