I don't think like you. I check my hardware and I consider that problem in new ATA driver. Under FreeBSD 4.1.1 my hardware work excellent. After 4.5 release I get more troubles with IDE devices. Some bugs was fixed and now (under 4.7s) I have no problem with IDE HDD (even softupdates work). After reboot my system work excellent 2-5 days, than I get "read timeout" problem with my CDROM and all system hang. I wrote about that troubles with ATA, but not get answer... Who have problem with ATA driver - write here about this and show /var/run/dmesg. Maybe we discover some dependences where trouble appeared.... -- Vladislav V.
