This does indead fix my panic that I reported to you. I'd like to add a wishlist item, that is really needed for the sparc64 platform. Currently hw.ata.ata_dma is a binary knob. I'd like to see it changed so that if the value isn't 0 or 1, then the value is taken to be the fastest dma to use. Values would be 2, 33, 66, 100, 133 (for completeness). My Sun Blade100 has an ATA66 controller, but other than the original disk with Sun firmware, no other ATA66 capable disk will work in the machine with either ATAng or ATA-mkIII unless I force the speed to udma33 or slower. FreeBSD doesn't currently have a good way to achieve this that we can easily do for the installation CDROM. -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org)
