Hello, I think this may have already been presented/answered but I am not certain. I have noticed recently that every so often I will get the following set of messages, generally right after the bootup sequence finishes: ad0: READ command timeout - resetting ata0: resetting devices .. done ad0: READ command timeout - resetting ata0: resetting devices .. done ad0: READ command timeout - resetting ata0: resetting devices .. done ad0: READ command timeout - resetting ata0-master: WARNING: WAIT_READY active=ATA_ACTIVE_ATA ad0: trying fallback to PIO mode ata0: resetting devices .. done This latest episode is on a 5.0-Current machine cvsupped yesterday, I got those messages while trying to log in after a reboot. I dont get any panics or anything, and after the reset to PIO everything seems to work fine. ad0 is an IBM Deskstar 22GXP. I recall something about Deskstars resetting their heads every week as a possible explanation for a similar problem, is that what this is too? I would of course prefer to be in DMA mode all the time rather than PIO. If there is something I can do to fix this I'm all ears. -Will To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
