Please make sure you've (cold/warm) rebooted several times with this patch. Just applying the patch and using it without reboots doesn't necessary mean a working fix. Since it's hard to reproduce the issue even on a system with problematic controllers I'd like to have confidence in the patch. -- Regards, Pyun YongHyeon _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
