Probably there is such DMA problem in 5.3. Read freebsd-stable mail archive. And I think the problem is not only with SATA driver. So, probably we should wait for a fix :) Regards, Alexei "Steve" wrote in message news:10sgt51ir4op035@corp.supernews.com... > Ok, using a new motherboard, ASUS A7V600-X, was using a A7V133.
