I have a junky machine with a UDMA-33 cable between a UDMA-66
controller and drives. Using a year old -current, the ATA driver
complains that the cables aren't capable of UDMA66 operation, and
throttles things back to UDMA33.
Using -current from ~1 week ago, this no longer happens and I get:
atapci0: <Intel ICH UDMA66 controller> port 0xffa0-0xffaf at device 31.1 on pci0

I realize that this is not a whole lot to go on, but it seems to be
wedged here, and the machine is 3000 miles away, so a verbose boot
will have to wait for people to arrive at the office in CA.
I was just wondering if this was a known issue, or if there was a way
to make things gracefully fall back to UDMA33 (aside from disabling
DMA at in the loader, and then using atacontrol to enable it after boot)
