Jeffrey Ropp Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 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 A few specs: Dell XPS Pentium III - running at 1.4GHz 640 MB RAM Lexar 80MB Compact Flash connected via ID Adapter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a5an0 Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 try atacontrol: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=a...l&sektion=8 If you still have no k, maybe try reformatting the card and hen reinstalling? There may be artifacts left over from the digital camera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickarse Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 Try OpenFiler... it's just as nice and has tons for features. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Ropp Posted February 13, 2007 Author Share Posted February 13, 2007 Apparently, the problem is the adapter. Don't buy the cheap $2 version as it doesn't suport DMA. So...guys from the show...what adapter did you use in the demo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
