If you mean the patch that went into -current it doesn't apply to
the -stable branch at all, it fixed a problem introduced by the
busdma integration, not the problem that apparently hit some on -stable.

Well then it's another problem in -stable, and currently tagged ata is not
workable in all our -stable environments with IBM disks :( Machines do not
crash, but constantly reinitialising ATA subsystem just at trying to boot
first FS at tagged disk.

What info do you need so we can try to fix this?

Thanks.

I need to be able to reproduce it here in my lab, and so far I havn't
had any luck with that. There also doesn't seem to be any easy to find
denominator between the systems that fail...

The problem is probably timing related, perhaps I have gotten something
a wee bit out of spec, but not enough for all systems to fail...

Anyhow this is a bitch to debug

Yeah, I see. By the way, I have a test machine handy, and also space GXP
disc, so I'm going to build testcase. It's K6/2-450 at TX motherboard.

What info do I need to send? (possibly, we should move the discussion of
the precise details to private mail, yeah?)
