as much as i have tried, i have still not managed to resolve this issue. the best i can do at this time is to revert back to 4.10-stable (which has its own USB issues...) considering this is a fairly serious issue (at least, to me it is), would it be appropriate to post a PR? i have done a cursory search through the archive and not come up with anything similar. thanks, --- craig@small-pla.net -----Original Message----- From: DanGer [mailto:danger@wilbury.sk] Sent: 29 November 2004 17:23 To: craig; questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re[2]: WRITE_DMA failures on 5.3 (but NOT on 4.10) Hi craig, Monday, November 29, 2004, 10:47:11 AM, you thoughtfully wrote the following: >>DanGer wrote: >>[...] >>> >>> >>> i have the same issue on brand new 200gb ata maxtor hard drive. i >>> had the same issue on 5.2.1, but when i upgraded to 5.3 i decided to >>> turn on ata dma but after 9 days of uptime it froze..no logs, >>> whatever...so i turned ata dma off for now, and i will stay and >>> watch what will happen.. >> >>That's very helpful, thank you.
