There is no way to turn it off when you do an installation. Interesting that those same disks work in the same UDMA33 mode on another motherboard with a different chipset. I have tried both Samsung and Seagate disks. I have also tried more than one motherboard and they do the same, so it isn't just a faulty board. I have also installed FreeBSD 3.4 on it and worked fine. I have also enabled DMA on that with flags setting and that also worked fine. > > I've run tests on everything I can get my hands on with my MVP3 > based chaintec board, and it "just works", so I dont think the > ata driver has a problem with this chipset. > However as I said earlier, it _could_ be that VIA has changed > vital things in a new rev of the 82c586, but I havn't seen any > evidence to this (yet)... A verbose dmesg with version numbers was sent in an email to -current with this id: <200004041755.TAA75436@zibbi.mikom.csir.co.za> But then maybe it is just me that have the problem.
