Hi there.
I've been using FreeBSD 5.2.1 for a while now and just tried an upgrade
to current. I now get a timeout during boot when it tries to detect the
devices on the primary ATA channel. If I move the boot device to the
secondary channel it works fine. But I need devices on the primary
channel working. I've ruled out the cables and disks, as devices/cables
that are fine on channel 0 are not fine on channel 1.
The motherboard is a Gigabyte 6VX-4X - making the controller a VIA
82C686A. I've had trouble with the USB ports on this motherboard... is
this ATA chipset known to be dodgy?... in which case I'll just get a PCI
based controller - or is there something else obviously wrong?
The error during boot is:
FAILURE - ATA_IDENTIFY timed out
Many thanks
Jake
