Hello,

I have a DELL Precision 370 workstation and BIOS allows me to select
the SATA behaviour mode: it can be AHCI mode or emulate the good old
known ATA mode. The hardisk I'm using is a SATA 300 model ( aka SATA
II ).

I was using it in ATA mode for some time, but I tried the AHCI at each
release. Starting with 4.5 the AHCI was setup correctly and I started
using it as default since then. Thus, from time to time I still have
some problems. The boot process is ok, the kernel is loaded but the
hardisk is not detected anymore and the computer freezes at this
point. The successful line about hardisk detect is replaced with this
one:

sd0 at scsibus1 targ 0 lun 0: <ATA,  ,  > SCSI3 0/direct fixed
sd0: driver offline
unknown vendor 0x0004 product 0x0000 (class prehistoric, subclass
miscellaneous, rev 0x04) at pci0 dev31 function 3 not configured.

Unfortunately the fail dmesg is not recorded in /var/log/messages. The
only way to reproduce it for sure is on first reboot after fresh
OpenBSD install. After a few reboots I will get a success.

My question is this: is it a problem about hardware failure or the
ahci driver is not mature enough ? I'm worried because this appears
randomly and I can't relate it to something. The only sure way to
reproduce it is to install a fresh Openbsd, when I do the first reboot
after install it will appear for sure.

==== success dmesg ===
