I have a Lite-On 24102B burner on an Epox 7KXA (VIA 686A southbridge) together with a few SCSI disks. I recently upgraded from FreeBSD 4.5 to 4.7 then almost immediately to 4.8. I've had trouble with the burner since. With FreeBSD 4.5, I used "sysctl hw.atamodes=---,---,dma,---" to set the burner to DMA. Everything then worked fine. As far as I know it was using UDMA33.

I am having problems with silent data corruption on (some) drives connected to an MCP55 SATA controller. I have two servers, both running RELENG_7_0/amd64. One has the 570 Ultra chipset, the other has 570 SLI. Both chipsets have the MCP55 SATA controller. The server with 570 Ultra chipset has a bunch of older 250GB SATA-150 drives hooked up to the MCP55 controller and it is working just fine.

Hello, I've got a (P)ATA disk in a special frame. The disk itself supports UDMA-100 (and has an 80-ribbon cable), but the frame isn't compatible with that. By default, FreeBSD negotiates UDMA-100, and the console starts to fill with ICRC errors. In the past, I used a patch to ata-all.c that enabled the following entry in loader.conf to force the disk to UDMA-33, so it worked fine:

Hi, after one month with gmirror and gjournal running on a 7.0-RELEASE #p2 amd64 (built from latest CVS source), the box hung a couple of times when on high disk load. Finally, while building some port it won't boot for no reason obvious to me. This is what I get with kernel.geom.mirror.debug=2: ata2-master: pio=PIO4 wdma=WDMA2 udma=UDMA133 cable=40 wire ad4: 476940MB <SAMSUNG HD501LJ

I am attempting to install 7.1-BETA2 (from CD) onto a PC with a Promise SX4060 RAID controller and two Seagate 120GB ATA disk drives. The boot from CD keeps repeating the following (error) messages: (I'm retyping here) ============================================================================ ================== ad4: WARNING - SETFEATURES SET TRANSFER MODE task queue timeout - completing

Hi, I have a server (Dell PowerEdge SC1435, ServerWorks HT1000) on which I'd like to try installing FreeBSD. I've already failed to make 7.0 work on this box and was wondering if you have information about the behavior of the upcoming 7.1 on this hardware. I've been following the "HT1000 chipset errata saga" thread, and the commits by sos@ to CVS (around Jan 2008), but have

Guests other than domain 0 using the console output have previously been controlled by the VERBOSE define, but with no designation of which guest''s output was on the console. This patch converts the HVM output buffering to be used by all domains, line buffering their output and prefixing it with the domain ID. This is especially useful for debugging stub domains.

Thomas, Have spoken to Soren, from my bootlog he believes that the problem is in atapicam causing the system to lock up. He is happy to answer some questions but doesnt have time to delve into atapicam himself. Did you author atapicam, I have seen your name on the sourcecode, can you help me further? Whats next? Thanks Adam. -------------- next part -------------- An embedded message was

Hello everybody Unfortunately my problem still doesn't have any solution. But I have an interesting observation. The gateway freezes very quickly, if torrent client programs are running on workstations. I assume the cause of the problem consists in many number of TCP/IP connections that torrent client establishes. Any ideas? Maybe I can tune somehow a TCP/IP via kernel, sysctl or pf settings?

On reboot, one out of 10 times, reboot (from hardware initialization) stops. Referring to this portion of the dmesg -v output, of a successful boot, where i have marked ">>>HERE<<<" is where the boot freezes on an unsuccessful boot. This is a constnat problem, on 6.2 as well as 6.3 unchanged. ata0-master: pio=PIO4 wdma=WDMA2 udma=UDMA33 cable=40 wire acd0: setting

Dear List, This is my second post since I did not receive any answers the first time. I have P4P800-VM motherboard with serial ata controlers (ICH5) and serial ata discs. I managed to install FreeBSD 4.9-STABLE on this box when setting the IDE controller in legacy mode. Everything works normal except when booting, the drives are set into UDMA33 mode: atapci0: <Intel ICH5 SATA150

Hi. We''re testing the most recent ZFS version from OpenSolaris ported to FreeBSD. Kris (CCed) observed strange situation. In function arc_read() he had a panic on assertion that we try to unlock a lock which is not beeing held: rw_enter(&pbuf->b_hdr->b_datalock, RW_READER); err = arc_read_nolock(pio, spa, bp, done, private, priority, flags, arc_flags, zb);

If you start to experience problems with ata devices, please direct your report this way. Thanks -lq

Hello Got strange problem with high system "%system load" and very slow user level programs (apache+php+mysql) behavior gstat shows 1.5-4% hard disk busy load but system shows about 20-30% load while user load is max 5%. vmstat shows from 2 to 35 process in "b" state. Now use 7.0-RELEASE-p5 , but the same problem was with 7.0-RELEASE. And have no idea what to do with this.

Hello, I didn't recieve a response on freebsd-mobile, so I'm trying here. I'm trying to install FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE or 5.0-RELEASE onto my Dell Inspirion 8100.

One of our FreeBSD boxes has a SCSI controller and disk, which showed problems earlier this week. There was a lot of of chatter from the SCSI driver in /var/log/messages and to the console. However, the console is unattended and we only discovered the problem subsequently because /var/log/console.log didn't show any of the chatter. console.log is otherwise working, and very helpful (e.g. it

Hello All, I mentioned a problem with this once before, and was referred to other threads that also talked about this. But I believe a recent problem I was experiencing, may have been related to this: [: -le: argument expected. So I'd like to bring it up again, in hopes that someone might have a cure. Specifically, two printf()'s are sent to the same line, which results in a /very/ hard
