The on-board RZ 1000 controller is disabled. Drives are connected to a Promise ATA100 card. Relevant parts of dmesg: ... atapci0: at device 1.0 on pci0 atapci0: ATA channel disabled by BIOS ... atapci1: port 0xfc00-0xfc3f,0xfc58-0xfc5b,0xfc60-0xfc67,0xfc70-0xfc7 3,0xfc78-0xfc7f mem 0xffbc0000-0xffbdffff irq 10 at device 14.0 on pci0 ata2: at 0xfc78 on atapci1 ata3: at 0xfc60 on atapci1 ... ata0 at port 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 irq 14 on isa0 ata1 at port 0x170-0x177,0x376 irq 15 on isa0 ... ad4: 19541MB [39703/16/63] at ata2-master UDMA66 acd0: CDROM at ata3-master PIO4 ... Pentium 200 MMX: Older Intel TC430HX motherboard. CD-ROM connected to the on-board controller as secondary master. Harddisk as primary master on the same type of Promise card.

Dual Celeron 466: ABit BP6 motherboard. CD-ROM as promary master on the on-board controller. The on-board HighPoint HPT366 is unused (proved to be unreliable for UDMA33 and UDMA66). The hard disk is primary master on a Promise TX2 ATA100 adapter. ... atapci0: port 0xf000-0xf00f at device 7.1 on pci0 ata0: at 0x1f0 irq 14 on atapci0 ata1: at 0x170 irq 15 on atapci0 ... atapci1: port 0xa800-0xa80f,0xa400-0xa403,0xa000-0xa007,0x9c00-0 x9c03,0x9800-0x9807 mem 0xdb000000-0xdb003fff irq 9 at device 11.0 on pci0 ata2: at 0x9800 on atapci1 ata3: at 0xa000 on atapci1 ... atapci2: port 0xb800-0xb8ff,0xb400-0xb403,0xb000-0xb007 irq 9 at device 19.0 on pci0 ata4: at 0xb000 on atapci2 atapci3: port 0xc400-0xc4ff,0xc000-0xc003,0xbc00-0xbc07 irq 9 at device 19.1 on pci0 ata5: at 0xbc00 on atapci3 ata0-slave: ATAPI identify retries exceeded ... ad4: 39082MB [79406/16/63] at ata2-master UDMA100 acd0: CDROM at ata0-master PIO4 ... The message: ata0-slave: ATAPI identify retries exceeded vanishes when the CD-ROM is configured as slave. This is probably an unrelated problem. It seems harmless. BTW. On the Dual Celeron, when I switch on DMA for the CD-ROM by putting "hw.ata.atapi_dma=1" in /boot/loader.conf, once the system is installed, the READ_BIG timeouts do not occur anymore.
