Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Wiki for discussing P35/IHC9(R)/SATA issues set up

Hi

The information FreeBSD returns about the drives is correct.

I noticed following problems

1) Trying to mount a cd is one of the problems. This freezes the system
for about 1 to 2 minutes.
Nov  5 20:17:46 sam kernel: acd1: FAILURE - MODE_SENSE_BIG timed out
Nov  5 20:18:17 sam kernel: acd1: TIMEOUT - READ_BIG retrying (1 retry  
left)
Nov  5 20:18:48 sam kernel: acd1: TIMEOUT - READ_BIG retrying (0 retries  
left)
Nov  5 20:19:18 sam kernel: acd1: FAILURE - READ_BIG timed out
Nov  5 20:19:19 sam kernel: GEOM_LABEL: Label for provider acd1t01 is  
iso9660/FreeBSD_bootonly.
After that, the cd is mounted and works just fine.

2) Trying to watch a dvd.
Nov  5 20:24:19 sam kernel: acd1: FAILURE - MODE_SENSE_BIG timed out
Nov  5 20:24:49 sam kernel: acd1: WARNING - SETFEATURES SET TRANSFER MODE  
taskqueue timeout - completing request directly
Nov  5 20:24:53 sam kernel: acd1: WARNING - SETFEATURES SET TRANSFER MODE  
taskqueue timeout - completing request directly
Nov  5 20:24:53 sam kernel: acd1: FAILURE - SEND_KEY timed out
Nov  5 20:25:03 sam kernel: acd1: FAILURE - MODE_SENSE_BIG timed out
I tried this with several dvds of code 1 and 2. The same behaviour on the
Optiarc and on the Asus drives.

3) If I add device atapicam to the kernel, the system won't boot. It will
still recognize the drives, but it will then produce read timeouts, over
and over. I tried this with hw.ata.atapi_dma set to 0 and 1.

4) Audio CDs don't seem to be recognized as such in the asus drives. It
seems, that the Optiarc recognizes and plays them. Again, testet with  
different
cds. The errors of the drives are:
asus:
Nov  5 20:39:10 sam kernel: acd1: TIMEOUT - READ_BIG retrying (0 retries  
left)
Nov  5 20:39:41 sam kernel: acd1: FAILURE - READ_BIG timed out
Nov  5 20:41:30 sam kernel: acd1: FAILURE - MODE_SENSE_BIG timed out
Nov  5 20:42:02 sam kernel: acd1: TIMEOUT - READ_BIG retrying (1 retry  
left)
Nov  5 20:42:32 sam kernel: acd1: TIMEOUT - READ_BIG retrying (0 retries  
left)
Nov  5 20:43:03 sam kernel: acd1: FAILURE - READ_BIG timed out
optiarc
Nov  5 20:44:11 sam kernel: acd0: FAILURE - MODE_SENSE_BIG timed out
But as mentioned, Optiarc is able to play the audiocd.

5) My devices are numberd from 4 upward. This is not a big deal. But it
is confusing. If I activate the onboard jmicron controller the ad4 moves
to ad10. [Motherboard Gigabyte P35-DS4]

6) Boot freeze [timeout of drives] when having a cdrom in the drive.
