Second, there seem to be a problem with some sil3112 setups where timeouts and what not ruins the lunch, but so far I've not been able to reproduce..
I am still unable to use my SATA drive, it's probed incorrectly as I posted earlier. Reverting to the August 10th 00:00 UTC kernel fixes this problem, so I concluded that ATAng broke this.
I am not running a very recent CURRENT but I do have ATAng from a fairly
early point and it works here. [I have the same chipset as Will SiI3112A RAID]
If it makes any difference, my model is a SiI3112 RAID controller, but I only have one drive and it probes as ad4... the situation doesn't improve any if I add "ataraid". But maybe ATAng doesn't take into account the difference between a "normal" and a "RAID" SiI 3112, if any?
Even Linux probes both disks even though I have but one.
I don't use any RAID capabilities beyond enabling the hardware to access SATA.
Here are my dmesg's again (Sep 18th, Aug 10th kernels): http://csociety.org/~will/dmesg.badATAng http://csociety.org/~will/dmesg.Aug10.preATAng
The problem shown in the first dmesg still showed itself when I tried a new kernel on Sep 25th.
I'd have to reboot and see how recent my FreeBSD stuff is... I have been rather distracted by the job which pays me salary :).
