In /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/LINT it says:

# This option allow you to override the default probe time for IDE
# devices, to get a faster probe.  Setting this below 1 violate
# the IDE specs, but may still work for you (it will work for most

ata delay

1999-07-17 Thread Thomas Schuerger

Hi!

I switched to the ata IDE driver some time ago. Since then, booting
stops for about 30 seconds when the driver is installed. It didn't
happen when using the old wd driver.

I'm using

controller  ata0
device  atadisk0# ATA disk drives

in my kernel.

>From dmesg:

...
isab0:  at device 4.0 on pci0
ata-pci0:  at device 4.1 on pci0
ata-pci0: Busmastering DMA supported
ata0 at 0x00x1f0 irq 14 on ata-pci0

Here booting stops for quite a while and then continues.

chip1:  irq 19 at device 4.2 on pci0
chip2:  at device 4.3 on pci0
ahc0:  irq 19 at device 6.0 on pci0
ahc0: aic7890/91 Wide Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 16/255 SCBs
...

Is there anything I'm doing wrong or is there a timeout that can be decreased?


Ciao,
Thomas.
