Actually it looks like he just MFC'd the patch in yesterday..
Modified files: (Branch: RELENG_4)
sys/dev/ata ata-dma.c
Log:
MFC:
Properly backspeed DMA on the ACER chips.
Revision Changes Path
1.35.2.8 +3 -3 src/sys/dev/ata/ata-dma.c
Get the new ata-dma.c and recompile your kernel, that should fix the
problem unless this is a new one...
Good Luck!
Kal.
