Hi,

My -CURRENT workstation won't boot off the WD Raptor 36GB disk,
which is on a SiI 3112A SATA-150 controller.  This was working
with a kernel in early July.  {build,install}{world,kernel}
completed.  Fortunately, it seems I can still boot with the
older kernel.  I guess ATAng problems still haven't been fleshed
out or I'm missing something?

Anyway, the disk is probed but is not correctly identified.  It
says something like:

ad4: 32MB <* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *> [65537/1/1] at ata2-master WDMA0

where "*" appears to be a smiley face.  Strange.

Anyone seen anything like this?  Thanks in advance.

Regards,
