Hello!

20000320:
			* * * W A R N I N G * * *
	The ata driver has some issues with the Apollo MVP3 chipset.
	Drives work only in pio mode and must be set to pio mode early
	int the boot process.  Do not upgrade.  If you must upgrade
	in the face of this, add
		/sbin/sysctl -w hw.atamodes=pio,pio,pio,pio
	to the start of /etc/rc.conf.  Even if you do this, any and
	all damage to your system is at your own risk.  You have been
	warned.
			* * * W A R N I N G * * *


Of _course_ I own such a thing.

FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT #0: Fri Mar 31 16:52:11 CEST 2000
    alex@cichlids.cichlids.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/cichlids

pcib0: <VIA 82C598MVP (Apollo MVP3) host bridge> on motherboard
pci0: <PCI bus> on pcib0
pcib2: <VIA 82C598MVP (Apollo MVP3) PCI-PCI (AGP) bridge> at device
1.0 on pci0
atapci0: <VIA 82C586 ATA33 controller> port 0xe000-0xe00f at device
7.1 on pci0

Two things: As you can see, my -current is from Mar 31,though I don't
know exaclty if I've taken sourcs from Mar 31, but I'm kinda sure.

Question is: Does the problem affect all versions?
It doesn't seem so, since I'm running two disks at UDMA33 without
problems:

ad0: 4133MB <FUJITSU MPE3043AE> [8959/15/63] at ata0-master using UDMA33
ad2: 6197MB <IBM-DHEA-36481> [12592/16/63] at ata1-master using UDMA33

There still is a little chance that my sources wasn't from pre-03/20,
so - is this problem fixed?
