Follow-up to this PR (requesting closure): The system this PR was based on was an Intel D865GLC with a P4 CPU; no issues up until my PR was filed. I am now using an Asus A8N-E board with an AMD X2 CPU, and am not experiencing any issues what-so-ever. I've managed to make -j2 buildkernel as well, which is a pretty good test. I'm left believing there's either some recent FreeBSD ATA code weirdness going on which affects the ICH5 on the Intel board (no idea) that isn't affecting the nVidia MCP9 SATA controller, or that the ICH5 on the Intel board has simply gone bad. Since I'm not the only one reporting this problem (but no one recently has reported it), I'm left to believe there's some general kernel oddness going on -- which I do not have the capability/knowledge to debug. If someone who is willing to work on this problem wishes to receive the board + CPU + RAM for it, free of charge (shipped within the USA only), I will gladly donate it to whomever wishes to debug the problem. Otherwise, please close this PR. -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
