This flag in linux's libata used in if ((hpriv->flags & AHCI_HFLAG_NO_MSI) || pci_enable_msi(pdev)) pci_intx(pdev, 1); In FreeBSD's code we have the same: /* enable PCI interrupt */ pci_write_config(dev, PCIR_COMMAND, pci_read_config(dev, PCIR_COMMAND, 2) & ~0x0400, 2); AHCI_HFLAG_IGN_SERR_INTERNAL flag targeted to ignore SERR_INTERNAL errors. FreeBSD's ata(4) driver ignores they too. AHCI_HFLAG_32BIT_ONLY flag limits to use 32-bit DMA only. If AHCI CAP register reports that controller supports 64-bit DMA driver will use 64-bit. So i think there can be added one quirk for you, but i'm not sure that problem is here.. AHCI_HFLAG_SECT255 flag limits I/O operation to 255 sectors, FreeBSD uses 128-limit by default. -- WBR, Andrey V. Elsukov
