Please check with your board vendor if they have a new updated BIOS that fixes this problem. This is not an ATA specific problem, but a problem with the PCI subsystem in general on these chips that manifests it self on high PCI load (which the ATA subsytem is quite capable of delivering)... A fix for this is present in -current, and if I get permission from the RE, it will go into 4.5 also, but a BIOS fix is by far the right way to fix this problem. -Søren To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
