Hi,

I suffer the same fate! :-(

I have a Promise Fasttrak 100 TX4. It is identified by FreeBSD as two
TX2 controllers:

I experienced the same problem as you, i.e. the computer hangs during
boot. I solved that by configure an explicit IRQ on the PCI slot used by
the promise controler. But a lot of problems remains.

I can only use one disk on each TX2 controller if I want the computer to
boot at all, i.e not hang during boot. Using two disks on one controller
causes the computer to hang as you described. Using the debugger I found
out that it hangs in the function ata_command:

    case ATA_WAIT_INTR:
        scp->active = ATA_WAIT_INTR;
        asleep((caddr_t)scp, PRIBIO, "atacmd", 10 * hz);
=>      outb(scp->ioaddr + ATA_CMD, command);

Breakpoint 17, ata_command (scp=0xc17e0b00, device=0, command=236 'ì', 
    cylinder=0, head=0 '\000', sector=0 '\000', count=0 '\000', 
    feature=0 '\000', flags=2) at ../../dev/ata/ata-all.c:1518
9: scp->ioaddr = 57248
8: command = 236 'ì'
(gdb) s
(never returns)

The kernel panics if I access the ar0 device. The backtrace is:

(gdb) bt
#0  Debugger (msg=0xc027477b "panic") at
../../i386/i386/db_interface.c:321
#1  0xc015ff48 in panic (fmt=0xc0278737 "biodone: bp %p not busy %d")
    at ../../kern/kern_shutdown.c:579
#2  0xc0188576 in biodone (bp=0xc19d2000) at ../../kern/vfs_bio.c:2664
#3  0xc022e536 in ad_interrupt (request=0xc19d4f80)
    at ../../dev/ata/ata-disk.c:698
#4  0xc02294fb in ata_intr (data=0xc17e5d80) at
../../dev/ata/ata-all.c:1159
#5  0xc025af3f in find_idesc (maskptr=0xc104a7c0, irq=0)
    at ../../i386/isa/intr_machdep.c:590

Now, I have no ideas of how to solve this. :-(



regards,
	jonas
