Okay now I understand. Thank you for taking the time to explain! :-)
And when you disable HPET in the BIOS, what happens?
Maybe I should try -CURRENT sometimes with your proposed ata patches
(or are they merged in right now?).
Sure, you're free to try CURRENT. The ATA code on CURRENT was
modularised, and also a very large patch applied; I can't promise it
fixes your CD/DVD drive issues though.
I had problems getting CURRENT to see my PCI SATA Promise controller (it
wasn't appearing in pciconf -lv, nor dmesg), but I had no problems with
CURRENT seeing my ICH7 controller. I also had other problems with
CURRENT which caused me to go back to RELENG_7. CURRENT is undergoing
lots of changes right now, so I recommend subscribing to -current if you
plan on running it.
I personally haven't written any ATA patches, except for extending
atacontrol to support per-disk write cache enable/disable. I think
you might be confusing me with Andrey V. Elsukov, who *has* written
lots of ATA stuff.
Now happens almost nothing (I don`t understand), except the cd/acd
problems (READ_BIG errors), but I don`t understand why it is happening..
maybe guys from Intel optimized this board too much for twista OS :).
Wishing all the best
