I recently re-installed a SCSI tape drive on my -CURRENT server, and began
loading the IDE bus more than I head in a few months. I immediate started
getting console logs like:
Oct 10 14:39:26 kanga kernel: ata0: resetting devices ..
Oct 10 14:39:26 kanga kernel: done
Oct 10 14:39:26 kanga kernel: ad0: TIMEOUT - READ_DMA retrying (1 retry=
left)
immediately followed by panics. I'd been using a build from 2003-09-19, but
rebuilt world from source from 2003-10-10. The problem still persists
unless I boot with 'hw.ata.ata_dma=3D"0"' in /boot/loader.conf.local.
The IDE bus in question is:
atapci0: <VIA 82C596B UDMA66 controller> port 0xd800-0xd80f at device 4=
.1 on pci0
I understand that there may be a few bugs left in ATAng, and as a user of
=2DCURRENT, I'm OK with that. Is there anything I can do that would probab=
ly
let me run my system a bit faster than PIO4 will allow and still limit my
likelihood of getting bitten by the READ_DMA timeout panics?
