Writing to confirm that the pre patches for 5.1.0 have indeed made a difference for my system. I was getting devices to come up randomly using the default 2.0.34 kernel driver (5.0.14?). With 5.0.19, nothing would come up. Installing 5.1.0pre2 has put me in the position where I can now boot-up though I haven't rebooted enough times to be sure that it is 100% reliable yet (i.e. not the situation I had with 5.0.14). This is on an AHA-2940UW with PPro/440FX chipset using default aic7xxx.c #defines. Thanks. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 Comment: PGP Signed with PineSign 2.0 iQCVAwUBNaTqdPAH0eZN+dr9AQGnawP9E+uMnDkPR3D8cQm3wLyGX/3vJA8PS/2u qhd6exw7IyXWcDewGJK0GwMOmgrevxxa8eLV0nJtBKVUBh0WlXXr4kLG0TEQWImR 1QzPDSSmUp+oYgj1aZaFlNc3uQUJCT3pRMy6q1j6ZagkYL1z4hsp75zLgtECYO6X ykVHyw/weiA= =Uzan -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ================================================================ | Greg Patterson | EMAIL: gomer@gomer.mlink.net | | | gomer@mlink.net | | Move over Microsoft, | IRC: Wizird (EFNET) | | Linux is here to stay. | WWW: http://gomer.mlink.net/~root | ================================================================ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe aic7xxx" in the body of the message
