However, the machine I swapped this card out of does not boot now: atapci1: port 0xec00-0xec0f,0xe880-0xe887,0xe800-0xe80f,0xe480-0xe487,0xe400-0xe41f mem 0xfebff800-0xfebffbff irq 21 at device 31.1 on pci0 atapci1: Reserved 0x20 bytes for rid 0x20 type 4 at 0xe400 ioapic0: routing intpin 21 (PCI IRQ 21) to vector 51 atapci1: [MPSAFE] atapci1: Reserved 0x400 bytes for rid 0x24 type 3 at 0xfebff800 atapci1: AHCI controller reset failure device_attach: atapci1 attach returned 6 This is with -CURRENT p4'd with an IFC from around 2-3 weeks ago on branch bms_netdev, which suggests the regression is still present in -CURRENT. 6.2-STABLE from around 1 month ago had the same "AHCI controller reset" problem. I'm not really sure how best to deal with this -- the machine needs to be working, that's for sure, as it is the machine where I do most of my FreeBSD development. There were no problems with 6.1-RELEASE, it has 4 SATA ports on the motherboard which makes it useful (although, ironically, there are probably not enough drive bays as it is a small ASUS barebones system), and it strikes one as odd that it might be necessary to maintain patches for consumer off-the-shelf hardware. Suggestions? Regards, BMS
