The ata driver replaces wd. You have to use one or the other, since they both do the same thing. > Should I resign myself to going back to > 3.5-STABLE?

I've seen enough problem reports. It's not just you, but as you say, it's not everybody. > Am I asking on the right list? Yes, I think so. > Should this go to the freebsd-stable list instead? I think you're OK here. There's nothing to suggest that this happens only with -STABLE. Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients.
