RE: SATA Problems - ATA_Identify timeout ERROR - using Tyan S5350 with FreeBSD 5.4
I thought that as well. My machine is using a Tyan motherbaord with the Intel 6300SEB and I thought that was a reasnably conservative choice of motherboard. I don't know if this is a hint not to use SATA/IDE controllers any more but there are lots of occasions when it is more than enough power to be going on with. What is annoying is that there doesn't seem to be enough in the way of problem reports to say this is not supported so we know we are on to a loosing streak and need to find an alternate type of hardware. Does anyone know if the "Adaptec AIC-8110 SATA I" controller, which Tyan offer, as an add on module is supported. The release notes which I have checked do not mention this number. But hten this is probably a part number and not the chip number.

RE: SATA Problems - ATA_Identify timeout ERROR - using Tyan S5350 with FreeBSD 5.4 (Adaptec AIC-8110 Compatibility maybe?)
Totally agree - I have 2 idential machines that have the same problem And have tried alternate hard disks all of which exhibit the same Problem. I would agree with you that the ICH5 must be common and the Tyan S3530 (http://www.tyan.com/products/html/tigeri7320r_spec.html ) with the Intel 6300SEB which I would have thought (as you say) was very common. I did notice that Tyan offer the Adaptec AIC-8110 SATA I controller as an add on module and I wondered if that might be supported but it doesn't seem by that number to be on the release list (any thoughts). > -Original Message- > From: Tony Byrne [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, July 01, 2005 11:29 AM > To: Alan Jay > Cc: freebsd-stable@freebsd.org > Subject: Re: SATA Problems - ATA_Identify timeout ERROR - using Tyan S5350 > with FreeBSD 5.4 > > Hello Alan, > > AJ> There have been a number of comments and queries about ATA problems and > SATA > AJ> problems with 5.4 but no views as to if this is a real problem. > > I have to agree.

In my case here, it's ICH6 and Seagate. Normally this is a good combination that should work flawlessly... I mean, you can't get more conservative than an Intel chipset and a Seagate disk. mkb. ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Hello Alan, AJ> There have been a number of comments and queries about ATA problems and SATA AJ> problems with 5.4 but no views as to if this is a real problem. I have to agree. I've had nothing but trouble with various Intel boards with Intel ICH5 controllers and SATA hard disks under FreeBSD and yet the problem either doesn't seem to be widespread and isn't recognized by the community in general. I find that strange since the ICH5 must be common in the field along with SATA disks from Western Digital. I would have believed faulty hardware to be the cause, but I have *three* machines that are capable of generating DMA TIMEOUTs while reading or writing SATA disks.

SATA Problems - ATA_Identify timeout ERROR - using Tyan S5350 with FreeBSD 5.4
I suppose the question is was there a problem with the Tyan S5350 motherboard and its ATA controller - I know that two identical motherboards with different hard disks exhibit the same problem. And if so why is it that there has been little on these lists about problems with the chipset which is on this motherboard (a fairly common one I believe from Intel). Although the problem went away the machines filesystem seems to have got corrupted so maybe all was not fixed after all. There have been a number of comments and queries about ATA problems and SATA problems with 5.4 but no views as to if this is a real problem. Any insights would be gratefully received. One aside when trying to upgrade using CVSUP does the tag need to be RELENG_5 or RELENG_5_4? ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
