Disks recognized by the AHCI driver will be named da0, da1, etc... and not ad0, ad1, etc. So if the AHCI driver recognizes the disk you have to fix up /etc/fstab and possibly /etc/rc.conf w/ the new names. You do not have to repartition the drive or anything like that. It's easy to get stuck here. If you do a full world & kernel build and install the boot loader will have a menu option to disable the AHCI driver. You would want to first boot with it enabled (the default) to see if it recognizes the device. It would then pop into a mountroot> menu since the normal root mount will not be found. You can then reboot and use the menu option to disable the AHCI driver so you boot with the old NATA driver, login, and adjust /etc/fstab and /etc/rc.conf appropriately to reference the AHCI driver designation (da0, da1, etc) instead of the NATA driver designation. -Matt Matthew Dillon

Sili/achi and Silicon Image 3512 chip
HI! I am considering to do another update to 2.3-DEV soon after Matt done with achi/sili tests and HAMMER V2 marked as stable. My 320Gb Seagate ST3300831AS 3.01 SATA drive is connected via: atapci0: port 0xdf90-0xdf9f,0xdfe0-0xdfe3,0xdfa8-0xdfaf,0xdfe4-0xdfe7,0xdff0-0xdff7 mem 0xfeaffc00-0xfeaffdff irq 6 at device 12.0 on pci2 Are there any possibility to benefit from switching to achi or sili driver for it? Is it supported by any of these drivers? Is it ok to change access mode in BIOS from compatibility to ACHI? Will I need any re-partitioning of drive or something? -- Dennis Melentyev

AHCI driver heads-up
I corrected a really stupid programming error yesterday that I had made in the AHCI driver. Logical block addresses were not being translated properly for non-NCQ I/O, resulting in disk corruption for disks larger then 250G. Generally only disks behind a port multiplier are affected. The bug has been fixed. Everyone using the new AHCI driver, and particularly anyone using it with a port multiplier enclosure, should update. The SILI driver had the same bug (also fixed) but since it can run NCQ commands to targets behind a PM it is unlikely that anyone was affected. Still, people using the new SILI driver should also update. -- The SILI driver passed its 10-TB test. The AHCI driver is undergoing a 10-TB test now and has passed so far. The test still has 3+ days of run time to go. -Matt Matthew Dillon

Both NetBSD and OpenBSD do the same (in the ports) - only sunaudio backend is compiled. Therefore I doubt that OSS is received any real testing at all ;). -- Hasso Tepper

NetBSD and OpenBSD use either the SunOS interface or OSS compatibility. I think the situation for Solaris is somewhat similar... In other words: only Mac OS X, Windows and Linux use something other than OSS :) Joerg

If all of this makes it to 2.4, then I think this will be the biggest release since 1.0A! Petr
Call for help with firefox 3.5
I made Firefox 3.5 (wip/firefox in the pkgsrc) work on DragonFly. Thanks to Matt who implemented shared POSIX semaphores in 10 minutes HTML5 video/audio tags are working now as well (you need a very recent master for that). There is still problems though. In videos there are sync problems (audio is about second behind the picture) and it crashes often while seeking or if video just finishes playing. My guess is that it's related OSS backend because nobody actually uses it in the upstream (I don't think that any OS relevant today except FreeBSD and DragonFly use OSS by default at all). There are several commits into other backends to solve sync problems, but none into OSS code. Therefore call for help - if you can and understand what OSS is (I don't ;), please look at it. -- Hasso Tepper
