I have a dell poweredge 500sc currently running 4.5-STABLE with the following: atapci0: <ServerWorks CSB5 ATA100 controller> port 0x8c0-0x8c3,0x8b0-0x8bf,0x374-0x377,0x170-0x177,0x3f4-0x3f7,0x1f0-0x1f7 at device 15.1 on pci0 ad0: 19073MB <IC35L020AVER07-0> [38752/16/63] at ata0-master UDMA100 and it eventually stops at a mount root prompt after several timeout/resets attempting to mount the root FS with tags enabled. Although after Soren's intial MFC it did panic it stopped soemtime later, I don't know exactly when as I haven't had tiem to fiddle with tags again. I'm afraid I've just joined up to current list and seem to have missed these hacks, if you can point the ones relevant to -STABLE in my direction I'll give each a whirl and report back.

I wish someone who is having the problem would try the three hacks I suggested, and report back. I personally can't reproduce the problem here, either. > > What's your theory on it? > > None so far, I've instrumented the code here, and I simply cannot > see what should go wrong (yet). Heh. "My hardware works ... I instrument the code ... my hardware still works". 8-) 8-). I think that it's going to be up to the people who are complaining to give feedback. > BUT recent current with the busdma'd ATA driver screws up with > tags, fix is coming as soon as I get a few hours to commit it... Totally different problem, of course... they were complaining about -stable vs. 4.5-release, too. I agree that the additional hardware support is more important. 8-(. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
