Hi,
i`m using freebsd releng_5 and got weird problem with AtA_DMA... I
bought mobo with i865PE chipset and when I allow DMA transfer in
BIOS for my TEAC cd-540E drive, freebsd fails to boot with:
ATA_INTERRUPT was seen but timeout fired out with LBA=0.. I also
tried applying a ATA mkIII with no luck(it tells me that ata_if.h is
missing). When I remove teac from my system, it boots correctly. I
tried also in loader.conf typing hw.ata.atapi_dma=0, but still the
same...fails to boot. I`ve before this mobo with VIA kt333 chipset,
and it allows me to set PIO4 for drive (with no problemo at freebsd boot)
Any ideas or patches?
Just out of curiosity, check to make sure you have the latest
firmware for the Teac drive. I recall encountering problems with a
Teac CD-ROM drive on a new motherboard with a fairly new chipset on
the market (this was a long time ago) until I updated the firmware in
the drive. I couldn't boot any OS off the drive, yet it worked fine
on other motherboards. It's worth a shot. You might have similar
problems with any OS on that motherboard and CD-ROM drive.
