Hi Soren,

I just went to 6.1-PRE on my main machine, coming from 6.0-STABLE
of roughly end of december.

And I hit some stuff that really worries me:

- the freshly built kernel keels over with (hand transcribed):

ata3: reiniting channel SATA connect ... SATA connected
sata_connect_devices 0x1 <ATA_MASTER>

ad6: req=0xC35ba0c8 SETFEATURES SETTRANSFERMODE semaphore timeout !! DANGER Will RObinson !!

(... is where I cannot read my own handwriting, it scrolled quite fast on
the screen..)

Boot device is a SATA RAID1 on a Promise 2300.
Hmm, that should not happen. Could you try to backstep just ATA to before the MFC, that is 24/1/06 and let me know if that helps please ?
First impression is that the problem is gone. None of the previously reported errors are seen. I am running a level 0 dump from disk to disk
to see if the box remains stable.  Given that this is my primary machine
I sure hope it will be :-)

Another snag is that my ad10 disk on 6.0-STABLE suddenly became ad12 on
6.1-PRE
Hmm that is because there is only 2 ports on your promise which is now correctly identified, before it was errounsly found as 3 ports.
Ah, OK. I would suggest a note to the Release Note writers would be a good
thing, devices changing location after an upgrade in the -stable branch
is unnerving ;-)
Well, the good thing is that I can reproduce the error here, the bad thing is that it slipped through testing on -current...
Oh, well, I'll look into it ASAP...
Thank you Soren!
OK, had a few this afternoon, could you try this patch and let me know if it helps, at least it makes the problem go away on my testbed..

Is this relative to HEAD or RELENG_6?  I cannot / will not go to HEAD
with this machine (my main production box.. :-)

Doesn't matter, ATA is the same on both...

-Søren
