Many thanks for the positive replies, the suggestions to cvsup to today were spot-on: the ata modules now load fine from loader.conf on the MP machine.
To answer the troll: it's fast, free, proven, and they were $50 on eBay.

Not sure on either of the above specifically, but quite a bit of work has gone into IRQ routing and the ata subsystem since 6.0R. Your problem sounds somewhat similar to what I was seeing on a Dell 4way box back in August which was fixed in Sept http://groups.google.ca/group/muc.lists.freebsd.current/tree/browse_frm/thre ad/54cf58899efae7e1/fe550105a6e0276a?rnum=1&hl=en&q=freebsd+tancsa+pci&_done =%2Fgroup%2Fmuc.lists.freebsd.current%2Fbrowse_frm%2Fthread%2F54cf58899efae7 e1%2F49d7837901cb3e5d%3Flnk%3Dst%26q%3Dfreebsd+tancsa+pci%26rnum%3D96%26hl%3 Den%26#doc_fe550105a6e0276a regardless, there are a lot of bugfixes since 6.0 >Q: If so - when is a good cvsup date that gives me a fixed ata driver >with a "stable stable" To today is quite stable. The FreeBSD folks are preparing for a release right now and what is in the tree works very well. ---Mike -------------------------------------------------------- Mike Tancsa, Sentex communications http://www.sentex.net Providing Internet Access since 1994 [EMAIL PROTECTED], (http://www.tancsa.com) _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
