G5s on FreeBSD are usually boringly stable (mine are, certainly, currently running HEAD @ r333927). For example the messages end in (typed from screen): (aprobe0:ata2:0:0:0): ATA_IDENTIFY. ACB: ec 00 00 00 00 40 00 00 00 00 00 00 (aprobe0:ata2:0:0:0): CAM status: Command timeout (aprobe0:ata2:0:0:0): Retrying command, 0 more tries remain (aprobe0:ata2:0:0:0): ATA_IDENTIFY. ACB: ec 00 00 00 00 40 00 00 00 00 00 00 (aprobe0:ata2:0:0:0): CAM status: Command timeout (aprobe0:ata2:0:0:0): Error 5, retries exhausted which then is repeated a couple of times, and then the mountroot prompt shows up. I installed FreeBSD on this disk, compiled a kernel, compiled a couple of ports... Sometimes it boots... Any idea what could be wrong?
