Default installation CD cannot proceed with newfs(8) due to WRITE_DMA errors. I had to provide hw.ata.ata_dma=0 to proceed with the installation. The hardware is Gigabyte 8TRX330-L mainboard with ATI RX330 chipset (ATI IXP 300 South Bridge with integrated ATA/SATA controller). My disk is Seagate ST340810A 40GB UDMA/33. The error message was exactly as follows: ad0: TIMEOUT - WRITE DMA retrying (2 retries left) LBA=xxxxxx ata0: reiniting channel .. ata0: reset tp1 mask=03 ostat0=58 ostat1=00 ad0: stat=0x50 err=0x01 lsb=0x00 msb=0x00 ata0-slave: stat=0x00 err=0x01 lsb=0x00 msb=0x00 ata0: reset tp2 stat0=50 stat1=00 devices=0x1<ATA_MASTER> ata0: resetting done .. ad0: pio=0x0c wdma=0x22 udma=0x45 cable=80pin ata0: device config done .. ad0: FAILURE - WRITE_DMA timed out It is surprising as FreeBSD is the only OS among 5 I've installed on this machine that doesn't work. 2. Any attempt to enable DMA either via boot loader or atacontrol(8) gives the above error or frozen system. I tried # atacontrol mode 0 wdma2 biospio then # find / System printed: ad0: TIMEOUT - READ DMA retrying (2 retries left) and hung. 3. This ATA controller is detected as atapci0:<GENERIC ATA controller> port 0xf000-0xf00f,0x376,0x170-0x177,0x3f6,0x1f0-0x1f7 at device 20.1 on pci0 # pciconf -l -v .. atapci0@pci0:20:1: class=0x01018a card=0x50021458 chip=0x43691002 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'ATI Technologies Inc.' class = mass storage subclass = ATA >How-To-Repeat: obvious methinks... >Fix: I just started poking, but I'm not a kernel hacker by any means...
