Hmm, in most cases I've seen of this, using UDMA > 33 if the device says no leads to failures if you beat a bit on it, maybe because ti really means it :) > So, is it possible to make a kernel option to do not disable ATA-66/100 > in such cases? May be it will be with a BIG warning, but present. Please. Sure it is, I'll put it on my TODO list, but if this should be done the right way it takes more than just disabling the test... -Søren To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
