The HDD information I added now:

19470MB <IBM-DJNA-352030> [39560/16/63] 

As fast as the machine is booting the HDD's led is on and is staying on
... Whatever I/O operation and whatever I am doing the same situation: the
HDD' s led is on.

On FreeBSD,Linux,Solaris no problems at all. Is the dma enables by the
default ? Can I try to do something to figure out whats going on ?

Thank you,
stef
