I'm setting up a Supermicro 1U server, (6014HX8B: dual Xeon, 2GB ram, hot swappable scsi backplane, dual GB nics, etc...)
I tried installing FBSD 5.3 release on it, but I received the following error while booting:
ata1-master: FAILURE - ATAPI_IDENTIFY timed out ata1-master: FAILURE - ATAPI_IDENTIFY timed out ata1-master: FAILURE - SETFEATURES SET TRANSFER MODE timed out

Automatic reboot in 15 seconds - press a key on the console to abort
This results in an endless reboot loop.
I had no problem installing FBSD 5.3 Beta7 (developer set), so I sync'd the sources and rebuilt the kernel and world to see if I could update it this way to 5.3 RELEASE.
On the first reboot after installing the new kernel (compiled with the GENERIC settings) I received the exact same error.
Swapping out the new kernel with the old, returned me to a working system.
The the only ATA device on this machine is the CDROM (on ATA1-master). If I try to disable the ATA device entries in the kernel and recompile, I then start having SCSI issues...
For the record, there are no local HD on this machine, as it is booting from a raid array connected via a Fiber Channel adaptor (using the MPT driver)
However, I tried removing the FC card and plugging in a SCSI drive, and the problem is exactly the same.
If no one has any better ideas, where can I find a detailed description of the changes between 5.3 Beta7 and 5.3 Release?
Thanks for any suggestions,
Lapo Nustrini
