How come FreeBSD kernel thinks my S-ATA disk is only capable of UDMA/33?
FreeBSD 4.x doesn't have specific support for the VIA 8237, and so doesn't properly realize that it should be able to do the faster DMA modes.
Next thing is that I today tried to move ~70GB of data from ad0 (ATA/UDMA133) to ad4 (S-ATA) disk. During the cp process I got these messages: Jul 5 15:13:18 <kern.crit> studsboll /kernel: ad0s1e: hard error reading fsbn 390440063 of 195220000-195220255 (ad0s1 bn 390440063; cn 24303 tn 196 sn 20) trying PIO mode Jul 5 15:13:18 <kern.crit> studsboll /kernel: ad0: DMA problem fallback to PIO mode
My MSI motherboard with the same VIA 8237 does the same thing.
-CURRENT (5.x) does have support for SATA, and may (probably does) work with the 8237. (I haven't tried it on this motherboard.)
