FreeBSD shi-sanmei.pcc-software.org 4.2-STABLE FreeBSD 4.2-STABLE #0: Mon Feb 19 11:36:30 JST 2001     root@shi-sanmei.pcc-software.org:/usr/src/sys/compile/MYKERN  i386

>Description:
Whole system hungs up(symptons are such...no reaction to mouse moving and keybord typing,and no displaying of a screen) when running the machine with its battery on the kernel including ata(4) which is standard at 4.x-Releases and after.
I made sure this on "TOSHIBA Dynabook Satellite 2520CDSA".
It seems that if "CPU Sleep MODE(Battery setting of the machine's BIOS)" is Enabled,ata(4) doesn't work correctly.
>How-To-Repeat:
Enables "CPU Sleep MODE" at BIOS setting,and make the machine to work with its battery.
>Fix:
I found 2 solutions following...
1.
At BIOS setting,set "Battery Save Mode" to "User Setting" and Disables "CPU Sleep Mode".

2.
Use wdc(4) instead of ata(4).
!!Notice!!: wdc(4) doesn't exist at 5.x and after.
