_non-ATA66 compliant cable_
Hmm, lookin' at earlier mailings this has come up before...
but I'll still post it because I'm really gettin' out of
options... I started a post on comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc,
with a lot of discussion going on but no solutions...
(btw It's a post started on 09 July with subject: ata/66)

</dmesg>
btw. My Promise controllers bios confirms that my drive Maxtor drive
is capable of UDMA Mode4 and Linux doesn't complain also (although I
get some DMA-timeouts == the reason I give FBSD a try because someone
told me it had far better support/performance on these things...)
In summary, here's what I already tried the last couple of days:
* I've recompiled my kernel (stable-4 cvs). eg. with -DATA_DEBUG
* Bought a new cable...
* Disconnected the ata33 drive. Not that it would make a difference
because its on another channel, but I'm gettin' desperate.
* Cleared some room for the cable to minimize influense from
elec. noises within my box. (It's a dual PIII with these huge
cpu-fans...)
* Smashed my mouse against the wall... == Frustration...
* Moved my ata66 disk to the other channel (ata3)
* Bought a new mouse.
* Rebooted to linux again till I find a solution.
...
Any advice???
Soren? *hint* *hint* *hint*
ThanX,
Frederic
