I added a Zip and a new CD-R device to a system over the weekend. The BIOS identifies all of the new devices just fine, but when I boot FreeBSD (the only OS on the system), I get to the ATA probes and things lockup (these are from notes, not exact), ad2: READ command timeout tag=0 serv=0 - resetting ata1: reseting devices... done ad2: (blah, blah) PIO0 And it just hangs there forever, no Ctl-Alt-Del, no nuthin', hit the reset button on the case. The Zip is the slave on the secondary controller. I've had the problem with 4.8-RELEASE and a very recent 4.8-STABLE. I've tested with GENERIC just to make sure it wasn't my kernel config. I believe this is a problem with the ATA driver and the Zip: 1) If I pull the power on the Zip (still in the case, still on the ribbon), everything boots up fine. 2) If I boot up a 4.5-STABLE-p1 kernel on the HDD, all devices are detected, and we come up in multi-user mode. (Albeit with unrelated errors due to a 4.5 kernel and 4.8 userland.) 3) If I boot off of a 4.5-RELEASE CDROM and put on the 4.5 live FS, all devices are detected. This shows the new CD-R probably is not the flaky one. I knew there have been some problems with the new (post 4.5) ATA code. I've reviewed what I could find in the -stable archives and didn't find anything specific to Zip drives. Has anyone else seen problems with Zip drives? Any ways to work around this? Perhaps some boot vars?
