S=F8ren could this be the same kind of issue I have been seeing with the "l=

hosts 2 SATA CD drives as well.

=46YI - In regards to the "load data error" - I tryed to revert all changes=
 apart from the ata changes to 2008/04/10 in order
to eliminate any potential other error e.g. From the other changes in the k=
ernel and I still get a "load data Error"=20

I have tested the following

	1) Change the File system to UFS2 in order to eliminate ZFS introduced err=
ors - no change=20
	2) Compile the entrie system as to CURRENT but using the ata sources from =
2008/04/10 - everything works
	3) Compile the entire system as of 2008/04/10 adding the ata changes seper=
ately - load data error (Disk are random - it seems) -=20
		bus_dmamap_load seems to return ENOMEM=20
	4) Tested whether it could be USB that some how corrupted the memory by di=
sabling all external USB - no change
	5) Using GENERIC or custom kernel does not change anything

So I am at a loss - I see no errors under Windows or Linux - However the Fr=
eeBSD boot code after 2008/04/10 stops
in two different places randomly=20

	a) sometimes it stops just when loading the secondary boot loader
	b) sometimes the keyboard locks after typing 4-5 characters when using opt=
ion 6

All the above errors seems to disapper if I use a full system compiled with=
 the 2008/04/10 date
