I am using stable from a couple days ago, and am having some problems getting it to work. If the disk is attached to the onboard IDE, the kernel spews a bunch of these ad2: UDMA ICRC WRITE ERROR blk# 1457759 retrying and then falls back to PIO mode, which is unacceptable. (ie. it transforms my Athlon 900 into a turd. For any moderate amount of disk activity, I get 100% CPU utilization, and it is very much non-interactive.) I have the proper cables, and have observed this on two seperate KT7 motherboards. Is the KT7 onboard IDE just busted? (I wouldn't be at all surprised, considering how horribly broken the BIOS boot ordering is, not to mention the soft power issues, etc. For a board that comes so highly recommended, I'm not terribly impressed.) When I attach the disk to the Highpoint 370 controller, the machine wedges after a short while. Is the support for this chipset in stable up to date? Also, are there any plans to merge the support for tagged queueing? Thanks, Chris To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
