When faced with a mystery like this I sometimes go into the mode of "poke it with a stick and see if it twitches." If you can get it to twitch at all, maybe that's a starting point. In this case, I guess I might start with seeing if setting hw.ata.atapi_dma=0 in the loader makes any difference. -- Ian _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
