This won't help people using similair drives (in one of my machines) that I am using, I have the same problem in current that I have in RELENG_4, It times out and drops to PIO4 mode after a few min. I dropped "atacontrol mode 0 pio4 none" (I only have the 1 drive on the chain) before the fsck check in /etc/rc to avoid the timeouts and boot normally). I'm sure there is probably a better way to do it, but I'm lazy :) Anyways, it’s a maxtor drive, I can send someone the drive info if that will help. I don't have the problem though on my Western Digital ata100 drive in another machine.

However, if its decided to back out whats in -stable, remember that it will bring ATA support back to what was in 4.5, which will severely reduce our chipset support etc, which is alot worse IMNHO. The right solution would be to just disable tagged queing, and state that in the docs, but I'm not the RE@ :) -Søren To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
