I have to say, I am a bit disappointed in the 4.6 release, as well as the way problems have been identified, and swept under the carpet.. It appears the ATA code was MFC, and does not perform as one would expect.. In simpler terms, it does not work correctly. Several people have reported having problems with ATAPI cdrom, as well as problems with IDE drives and th3e ATA driver(s), since March. I read a few threads indicating it was being looked into, however it appears nothing was fixed. If I am wrong about this, then please tell me.. If not, can someone reply as to why the stability of FreeBSD was compromised in favor of an improved method, that does not quite have the bugs out of it.. 4.6 release is "Broke" and will not work with many existing hardware configurations. 4.5 release worked.. My 2 cents.. John Prince To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
