Hi, I'm having a problem installing 4.4-Release on a somewhat older machine due to what I suspect is an issue in ata(4). I searched usenet and the mailing lists a bit and saw that some others had had this problem, although with different machines. There is even a problem report for what looks to be the same issue which is closed (http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=26061), but the problem doesn't look to be resolved. The exact error I get when I boot from the install floppies is as follows: atapci0: <Generic PCI ATA Controller> port bla bla bla atapci0: Busmastering DMA not supported ata2: at 0x1f0 on atapci0 ata2: unable to allocate interrupt device_probe_and_attach: ata2 attach returned 6 ata3: at 0x170 on atapci0 ata3: unable to allocate interrupt device_probe_and_attach: ata3 attach returned 6 The install then goes on to report that it cannot continue since no disks were found. I'd like to add that this machine had no problems when using wd(4) under 2.1.5-R through 3.3-R. The machine is a Micron powerstation P133, with a Micronics (or possibly Elan) M54li Motherboard. The chipset appears to be a sis of some sort, possibly a 85C503 - 5501 - 5502. Unfortunately I cannot find much of a trace of micronics on the web, so I have no idea what the details on the ide controller are. I am hoping that perhaps someone will know what the problem is, and if there is any possible workaround or fix. If anyone responds to this please CC me, as I am not subscribed to questions.
