I am not set up to cvsup the stable branch and I don't know how to revert to a specific rev of the ata driver. (sorry) I can add just a little more diagnostic information. I tried booting the kernel with the -v option and got a couple of more lines out of the autoconfiguration monologue: atapci1: <Generic PCI ATA controller> port 0xd000-0xd00f,0xcc00-0xcc03,0xc800-0xc807,0xc400-0xc403,0xc000-0xc007 irq 5 at device 31.2 on pci 0 ata-: ata2 exists, using next available unit number ata2: iobase=0xc000 altiobase=0xc402 bmaddr=0xd000 At this time my goal is not to find a way to boot and use this particular release but to make sure the right people are aware of the problem and to offer any assistance I can in figuring it out. I don't know how to report 4.9-PRERELEASE problems. I am guessing that the people who are working on the release are reading freebsd-stable. (I gather that one of the purposes of this mailing list is communication between people running the STABLE branch, either via cvsup or snapshots.) Dan Strick strick@covad.net
