The following reply was made to PR kern/79334; it has been noted by GNATS. From: "Doug Hendricks" <Doug.Hendricks@tnzi.com> To: freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org Cc: Subject: Re: kern/79334: ATA_IDENTIFY timed out for 5.3 and 5.4 beta 1 Date: Thu, 31 Mar 2005 10:31:33 +1200 This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------_=_NextPart_001_01C53578.39B5562A Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Doug Hendricks (logging in from different site): I have also replicated the problem on FreeBSD 5.2.1 on my pc. Someone named Bill Wagner has emailed me telling me that he has a very similar problem and also uses the VIA chipset for IDE. It was his theory that FreeBSD 5.0 and earlier have a "generic" mode for operating VIA chipsets, but this was removed in later 5.x releases. If the maintainers of FreeBSD just want to say: "we won't support this", then I'll just live with 4.X. I can't speak for Bill or others.
