I did, indeed, and found absolutely nothing. Do you have some info I don't? Please tell me. > > Your motherboard has VIA P4M266A chipset, carrying > VT8233A on board. Ata(4) driver is not completely new IIRC, Soren had rewritten lots of its code, and named it ata-mk3, for it is the third ata code generation. Anyway, the behavior is totally different, so even if I did not know that, I would assume something has changed. > in 6.0, and it has supported this very IDE controller for > some time already. Please consult your motherboard's I may be teorettically supported, but it is not working, and it is the only operating system with problems. The errors in 5.4 led me to believe the problems were related to some kind of timing, but could get no further from this. I did even search google to see if any other soul related any usage of FreeBSD with this MoBo, just to find nothing. Or worse, to find other people with the same problems: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-hackers/2005-February/010211.html http://listas.es.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd/2005-September/026449.html I have even found one that say changing APIC would solve the problem, but this did not solve mine: http://www.myfreebsd.com.br/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=150 Nor his: http://64.62.136.189/freebsd@fug.com.br/msg06087.html I found even my original message on 5.4-RELEASE, at this same MoBo. http://72.14.207.104/search?q=cache:VyXIgglUihQJ:bbs.cse.yzu.edu.tw/show.php%3Ftype%3Dpost%26board%3Dbsd-stable%26pageno%3D1663+FreeBSD+ASUS+P4VP-MX&hl=en Note that in all these, only one had an answer, and this did not work. > manual (I can't download it as all Asus sites behave very > badly) and disable all non-standard options, you can try > some thing like "Load safe defaults" or "Load optimized > defaults". > > BTW, this question belongs to questions@, so cc there. I already did all this, and even disabled ACPI, which you did not mentioned, but is almost always the big villain. May we get back to -stable now? Or did I miss something I should have done before getting out of -questions? Maybe -hackers, and not -stable, since this is now like hacking to me. Or maybe the Hardware compatibility list shoud be changed to note this MoBo is incompatible with FreeBSD.
