Hi all, I just upgraded from FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE to 6.0-BETA1 on an amd64 desktop and an i386 laptop (ThinkPad A31). I've generally been very impressed with its performance and stability, but I've noticed a couple of problems: 1. On the desktop, I have an old Fujitsu DynaMO 2.3G ATAPI MO drive, and I've always had to use atapicam with it because there's no native ATA driver. The drive is genuinely capable of UDMA33, and I have hw.ata.atapi_dma turned on. In the past the SCSI device listing that comes from atapicam has always shown the full transfer rate, as follows: da0 at ata0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 da0: <FUJITSU MCJ3230AP 0030> Removable Optical SCSI-4 device da0: 33.000MB/s transfers But now with the upgrade to 6.0, it doesn't look as if UDMA is being enabled: da0 at ata0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 da0: <FUJITSU MCJ3230AP 0030> Removable Optical SCSI-4 device da0: 3.300MB/s transfers My UDMA33 CD burner still shows 33 MB/s in its atapicam SCSI listing, so I know UDMA transfers aren't completely broken with atapicam. And I can't seem to use atacontrol to change the mode, because atacontrol has changed and requires an actual ata device file rather than a channel number. But I can still use the drive, and its performance doesn't seem to have been hurt, for small files at least. 2. The laptop has ACPI issues--it worked fine with 5.4, but with 6.0 if I suspend and resume with the X server running, the screen will become garbled--I have to reboot via ssh. If I shut down X before suspending, it will resume fine, but if I then try to restart X, the screen will again become garbled. The machine will still be responsive--I can issue commands via ssh--but if I try to issue a reboot or shutdown command, it will hang and I'll have to do a hard reboot. I don't have debugging turned on in either kernel, so let me know if you want traces and I'll turn it back on. Otherwise, everything is working fine. Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to offer. Jason HarmeningReceived on Fri Jul 22 2005 - 22:47:44 UTC
