Perhaps blacklisting all WD/Maxtor drives that don't report an ATA version, as the ata (and wd) driver works flawlessly in UDMA33 mode with my setup: ... ata-pci0: at device 7.1 on pci0 ata-pci0: Busmastering DMA supported ata0 at 0x01f0 irq 14 on ata-pci0 ata1 at 0x0170 irq 15 on ata-pci0 ... ad0: ATA-4 disk at ata0 as master ad0: 12416MB (25429824 sectors), 25228 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S ad0: 16 secs/int, 1 depth queue, UDMA33 ... Although I coulda sworn it was an ATA/66 device with the proper cable. Hmm. But hey, at least it works, reasonably fast too. Nice job :) - alex To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
