This is most likely the problem but it might not be a re-cvsup problem.
If you are following The Right Way To Update (which virtually none of
us do... :-) then you're installing the new kernel and rebooting before
running installworld. It's installworld that takes care of installing
the new loader, which has hardcoded in it something that turns off ata
DMA.
You can get around this by stopping the loader before it boots the
kernel (where it's typically counting down from 10), and do this:
set hw.ata.ata_dma=0
boot
That will let the new kernel boot. And then you can go ahead with the
installworld. The current version of the loader will be installed then,
and this step shouldn't be necessary any more.
Scott was able to locate the problem that makes this necessary yesterday.
It turned out to be something in the new ATA code after all and not what
he had originally thought. He sent the report of what's happening
to Soeren, but it definitely won't be fixed by BETA2 which is building
now...
