It boots off the DTLA, uses tagged-queuing and connects using UDMA100... ... and doesn't have any problems!! So, to bring some of you down to earth again, the DTLA may be a horrible disk and I'm one of the last to praise ATA at all (My machine has two SCSI host adaptors, five SCSI-Disks and several other SCSI Devices), but it once worked! I really, really don't want to blame Søren, he's doing a great job and everybody, who makes something makes occasionally some errors, but (at least for me) it doesn't seem to be a fundamental technical problem, because *it once worked* - sorry, but it's true. And maybe it isn't related to tagged queuing and the DTLA at all - if I correctly understand Giorgos' mail... -- Ciao/BSD - Matthias Matthias Schuendehuette , Berlin (Germany) Powered by FreeBSD 4.5-STABLE To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
