I haven't seen this on my A7V, running a week-old -current: atapci0: port 0xb000-0xb00f at device 17.1 on pci0 ata0: at 0x1f0 irq 14 on atapci0 ata1: at 0x170 irq 15 on atapci0 ad0: 76319MB [155061/16/63] at ata0-master UDMA100 acd0: CD-RW at ata1-master PIO4 The system is quite fast; it outperforms my P4 2.0 workstation at work on 'worldstones' by several minutes. -- Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?
