The ATA_ENABLE_ATAPI_DMA only switches the _ATAPI_ DMA support, for _ATA_ disks it is enabled if the HW says it supports it. I think the problem here might be that some of the newer VIA based board might in fact have a VIA '686B southbridge, which apparantly needs different setups. Could you mail me the dmesg output from a verbose boot, and the output from a pciconf -l please ? -Søren To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
