With FreeBSD 4.9 on the horizon, I thought I might bring this up again...

I recently upgraded my motherboard and CPU, as:

  512 MB DDR DIMM (2 ea.)
  SiS962(L) Southbridge

I then found that I couldn't boot the (FreeBSD 4.7) system, getting:

  ad0: READ command timeout tag=0 serv=0 resetting
  ata0: resetting devices

After a bunch of Googling and some discussions on freebsd-questions,
I decided to change line 90 of /usr/src/sys/dev/ataata-disk.c to:

static int ata_dma = 0;

This works, but I suspect that it is slowing down my disk I/O quite a
bit.  So, I would like to know the prospects for this controller being
supported in FreeBSD any time soon.
