ATA still panics during boot on P66

Hi, I can't find the date or sender of the original email - the mailing list archives haven't been updated since Feb 20 - but my Pentium 66 still panics during boot with a kernel compiled today. Here's what I get... atapci0: port 0x3f4-0x3f7,0x1f0-0x1f7 at device 1.0 on pci0 atapci0: Busmas

Re: identcpu.c change causes panic - not identcpu.c?

2000-01-30 Thread Greg Childers
A panic also occurred on my Pentium (P54C) 66MHz, but backing identcpu.c to 1.79 didn't stop the panic. Here is the panic info, copied by hand. (I hope there are no typos!) Lots of 'ad1: timeout waiting for DRQ' followed by Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode fault virtual address

Yes! That is exactly the problem I have been having since the 1999/10/09 12:57:15 PDT ATA commit. Here is the link to the email I sent earlier: http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=1326170+1331912+/usr/local/www/db/text/1999/freebsd-current/19991212.freebsd-current Basically, on my Pen

Hello, Seems now is the time to raise problems with ATA, so here goes. I have used the ATA driver since its introduction into -current without problem until recently. A kernel from October 5 worked fine. Now, it no longer works using ATA, but works fine using the old WD drivers. The console

I've updated to the latest -current, and things have gone awry. At boot, the console freezes at the end of the dmesg. The startup process continues, tho, and I can telnet into the box. Then madness ensues. The contents of some files I create disappears, top freezes after listing the process

Sounds like you want something like a FreeBSD version of DOS Linux. See http://www.tux.org/pub/people/kent-robotti/index.html. How do they overcome this problem? Greg At 02:45 PM 5/19/99 -0700, Carlos C. Tapang wrote: >Thanks to all who pitched in their input to this issue. Most users of my >sy
