My NetBSD 1.4 machine has one WD 4G harddrive, but at startup it also
finds wd1 (68MB, 1 sector pio transfers, chs, same irq (15)). Later on,
I get:
wdc1:0:0: Lost interupt
type ata
c_bcount: 512
c_skip: 0
wdc1:0:0: recal timed out
wd1d: device timeout reading fsbn 0 (wd 1 bn 0; cn 0 tn 0 sn 0),
retrying
<repeats about 10 time>
Its not the end of the world (to me!), as it eventually passes this and
starts (wrong console though), but this process takes a while, and
something is amiss. Also, 2 weeks ago it was all fine, then I used the
machine (with another hard drive) to do some other work, when I use this
harddrive again, I get this.
In BIOS, changing the drive to LBA, LARGE, NORMAL, makes no difference.
