Reported symptoms include command timeouts or missing interrupts. These problems appear to be timing-dependent, making them rather difficult to isolate. Workarounds include: * Turn off ATA DMA using the ``safe mode'' option of the bootloader or the hw.ata.ata_dma sysctl variable. * Use the host's BIOS setup options to put the ATA controller in its ``legacy mode'', if available. * Disable ACPI, for example using the ``safe mode'' option of the bootloader or using the hint.acpi.0.disabled kernel environment variable.
