Hi
I installed 5.1-RELEASE from the CD images, and have problems using DMA
on my ATA discs. I get the same problem on several discs, both several
years old and brand new, across several vendors. 4.6-RELEASE handles the
discs fine. Relevant excepts from the boot messages are below, the
entire thing can be seen at http://www.esperi.org/nicolai/misc/dmesg.eriador

Mounting root from ufs:/dev/ad0s1a
I noticed some ATA problems solved in -current recently, so I tried
compiling a kernel from sources about 2 days ago. Booting from that
(GENERIC) kernel, I do not get "Mounting root..", instead I get
(approximately, can't cut/paste that console):
Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode
fault virtual address = 0xdeadc0de
fault code = supervisor read, page not present
instruction pointer = 0x8:0xdeadcode
stack pointer = 0x10:0xc736bc38
frame pointer = 0x19:0xc736bc50
....
current process = 21 (irc14: ata0)
kernel: type 12 trap, code=0
Is this a known problem, perhaps specific to the 82C586B ATA controller?
Thanks
Nicolai
