Can you "rm ata-all.o" in your kernel compile directory, do "make && make reinstall" again? When I hacked around in ata-disk.c to see if my WDC drive would work with tagged queueing(*), I found that somehow, ata-disk.c was NOT properly recompiled without the prior rm. It had worked before, but I'm not sure what's up here. May have been my fault (mount -uo noatime), whatever. I can however tell that the "rm" cured my problem. Would you be so kind as to try the rm and kernel rebuild and see if that solves your problem? (*) WDC AC420400D, said to be an IBM DJNA OEM that has a broken tags implementation. While it looks ok at boot-up but experiencing strange crashes later on in operation that go away without tags. IBM is said to not offer firmware updates for these drives, and all DJNA are reported to have a broken tags implementation by IBM themselves, I am told. WDC is said to be totally unresponsive when it comes to tags. -- Matthias Andree To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
