And I can also tell you that this >very same hard drive *never* produced this error message in >the past 6 months while running FreeBSD 5.2-CURRENT (from >May 9, 2004). Fwiw, I am also seeing this warning/error message on a brand new machine with a brand new SATA hard disk in it. I have seen the message on multiple installs into different partitions on the same hard drive. I turned off some sysctl (hw.ata.ata_dma, *I think*) to see if that would avoid the problem, but it did not seem to. I usually do not notice any problem at the same time as the message, but I have seen a few buildworlds which just happened to abort at the same second this warning message appeared in /var/log/message. So, I am not sure the message is benign in all circumstances. I'm a bit busy with a variety of other issues right now, but I should have some time this coming weekend to run any tests or patches that might help to pin this down. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad_at_gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad_at_freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih_at_rpi.eduReceived on Thu Nov 11 2004 - 18:04:05 UTC
