I also tried a Seagate ( <ST3120024A/3.31> ATA/ATAPI rev 6 ) with a PATA/SATA dongle. The dongle has sunlink chip - which I think is same as Sil3611. The Seagate was a complete dead duck under -CURRENT - boot hanging with the "missing interrupt" messages. The Maxtors seemed a bit happier but still got the same spurious failure messages during and after boot. I never tried to build a filesystem on them. I can confirm that all of the above devices were happy under Windows (copied about 20 gigs each way for a test) so I guess it is not *completely* broken hardware, although it may fall short of the spec that the BSD drivers expect. I never tried legacy mode with the two SATA channels enabled so I can't comment on that. -Jamie
