The following reply was made to PR misc/77163; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Poul-Henning Kamp <phk@phk.freebsd.dk> To: freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org Cc: Subject: Re: misc/77163 Date: Sun, 06 Feb 2005 14:11:56 +0100 This sounds exactly like the stuff I fought for half a year. My motherboard was an Arima/Rioworks HDAMA and something on that board just didn't like Promise chips. This was a bit of a problem as the onboard SATA channels are Promise. I've heard that recent bios updates should have fixed it, but I have not been able to check it. If you have a HDAMA motherboard and a bios upgrade does not fix it, return the board and tell them that you have the "promise data corruption problem" and want a board that works. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 phk@FreeBSD.ORG | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
