I'm using it on two machines here. One has a (known) broken hard disk, but I don't care whether it drops a few sectors each day. ATA is keeping it more or less alive. The other one is my laptop, and that one seems to be a lot faster and the system load is down (PIIX4 chipset). Except that it always gives me a timeout at boot. This started about 3 weeks ago I think, but as the drive works fine for the rest, I didn't bother to check into it more deeply. ata-pci0: at device 1.1 on pci0 ata-pci0: Busmastering DMA supported ata0 at 0x01f0 irq 14 on ata-pci0 ata1 at 0x0170 irq 15 on ata-pci0 ... ad0: ATA-4 disk at ata0 as master ad0: 4126MB (8452080 sectors), 8944 cyls, 15 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S ad0: 16 secs/int, 1 depth queue, UDMA33 acd0: CDROM drive at ata1 as master acd0: read 2416KB/s (2416KB/s), 128KB buffer, PIO acd0: supported read types: CD-DA acd0: Audio: play, 16 volume levels acd0: Mechanism: ejectable tray acd0: Medium: no/blank disc inside, unlocked pccard: card inserted, slot 0 ata_command: timeout waiting for interrupt Mounting root from ufs:/dev/ad0s2a On Sun, 5 Dec 1999, David O'Brien wrote: > Since the ATA driver is destined to be the default in 4.0-R, and we hare > hitting the feature freeze date; can we make the switch now? > > I think it is very important to get ATA into more hands to see where it > breaks.
