freebsd stable - Jan 2010 - FreeBSD 8.0 STABLE sata regression

Hello,

My servers are alright with FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE, but not with -STABLE.

If UDMA mode reported instead of SATA speed is the only issue, then it
is not an issue, but only a cosmetic change. It doesn't mean that your
drives will work slower.

Thanks for report, I'll plug ICH7 board a bit later to check this.
To get more info about the problem, try `atacontrol mode ad2` command.
