Hi, > I've been trying to install FreeBSD on my system that has an onboard > Silicon Image sil3112a SATA controller and a Western Digital Raptor > WD740 74GB HD, for a few months now, with no luck. Pain. > First I tried 5.2.1, which installs fine but starts to spew DMA > timeout messages when put under any kind of HD related stress and > eventually the system becomes totally unusable. > I tried a second time with 5.3-BETA7, the behaviour was exactly the same. Just to help things along, I have a SIL3112 controller on my workstation (Asus A7n8x-e platform).. relevant bits dmesg:- atapci0: <SiI 3112 SATA150 controller> port 0xa400-0xa40f,0xa000-0xa003,0x9c00-0x9c07,0x9800-0x9803,0x9400-0x9407 mem 0xe8004000-0xe80041ff irq 18 at device 11.0 on pci1 ad4: 76319MB <ST380013AS/3.18> [155061/16/63] at ata2-master SATA150 ad6: 76319MB <ST380013AS/3.05> [155061/16/63] at ata3-master SATA150 uname:- FreeBSD shodan.ninjalabs.co.uk 5.3-STABLE FreeBSD 5.3-STABLE #0: Sun Nov 14 08:29:40 GMT 2004 chris@shodan.ninjalabs.co.uk:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/SHODAN i386 Works fine here. Could this be a DMA / IRQ conflict on your particular configuration? I have had problems with Raptor disks on a supermicro platform (ICH5 controller) under Windows. Could it be the disks?
