[MSG]
(9 Jan 2004) In some cases, ATA devices may behave erratically, particularly
SATA devices. 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.
