I have a 40GB Maxtor D740X-6L disk, and have been unable to install 5.4
or 6.0 on it. I get errors:
ad0: FAILURE WRITE_DMA STATUS=51 <READY,DSC,ERROR> error=84 (IRC,
ABORTED) LBA=..
as soon as I try to commmit the changes in sysinstall.
I have checked that the IDE cable is the 80-wire type, and cleaned up
the connections and so on.
I tried installing Ubuntu on this disk, and everything went perfectly.
(Those guys have done a really great job, by the way).
Is there some configuration trick I have missed?
