I (with a little help from a good friend ) figured out an solution to
the problem, in switching my brand new ata133 ide-cable to an "old
school" ata33 ide-cable FreeBSD sets my drives to UDMA3 and boots up
alright..

key commands here:

atacontrol list
and
atacontrol mode 

( my buddy had come across some message telling about how SiS had
created an new "SiS 5513" chipset with the same tag.. unfortunal he
didn't remember where that message were. But it would make sense why
FreeBSD tryies  to use UDMA5 on my UDMA3 only atachipset.. )

I´ll notised that my idecontroller IS supported by the ata-driver,
witch makes it even stranger.. (I think I will check on my cabling
once more, even if it´s a newly installed _rounded_ 32 pin cable..)

My atacontroller: SiS 5513
My HDD: Seagate 200 GB

Re: more problems with 5.3 and "TIMEOUT - WRITE_DMA"

2005-03-27 Thread Thomas Foster
I had this same issue on an older AMD Nforce board.  5.2.1 seemed to install 
and run.. but moving to 5.3 gave me issues.  I tinkered with the DMA 
settings in the BIOS.. to no avail.  The Geometry seemed to be off on the 
drive I noticed (IBM deskstar) when I newfs'd it.. so I changed out drives.. 
but never got it working..  I eventually just dropped Gentoo on it.

What chipset, drive controller hard drive are you using on this system?

Subject: more problems with 5.3 and "TIMEOUT - WRITE_DMA"

I got this annoying problem when upgradeing to 5.3, the miniinst iso
blurps out "TIMEOUT - WRITE_DMA" when it starts writing base to my
disk. And when I tried to first install 5.2.1 and upgrade (cvsup, make
buildworld etc.. ) to 5.3 that way everything seems fine until I
reboot to single-user-mode, as soon as Im starting to write anything
to the disk it´s blurping out those errors.. I have diagnosticed my
disk, checked my cabling and fixed my PSU (installed a brand new one).
No difference. I noticed that my ide-controller was supported in 4.11,
but not? in 5.3, is that realy true? seems very strange...
Sence I duel boot with Wintendo/Lunix and don´t see this problem with
those oses I´m very confused of what to do next..
I´ll tried some snapshots to but no luck...
