Hi,

I have a machine with Sil 3112 sata controller
(I guess it was a adaptec card). I updated the machine
from RELENG_5 to 6.0 RC1 in hope to get rid of ata
dma timeout messages. I already thought that it works
ok, but this morning I found this at console:

ad4: TIMEOUT - WRITE_DMA retrying (1 retry left) LBA=66544991
ad4: TIMEOUT - WRITE_DMA retrying (1 retry left) LBA=2896287

Are there still some problems in ata drivers related to this
chip ?

Relevant lines from dmesg look like this:

atapci1: <SiI 3112 SATA150 controller> port
0xd000-0xd007,0xb800-0xb803,0xb400-0xb407,0xb000-0xb003,0xa800-0xa80f mem 0x
e0000000-0xe00001ff irq 5 at device 9.0 on pci0
ata2: <ATA channel 0> on atapci1
ata3: <ATA channel 1> on atapci1

ad4: 152627MB <SAMSUNG SP1614C SW100-34> at ata2-master SATA150
Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/ad4s1a

Are these going to be fixed for 6.0 or should I get a different
sata card for my machine ?
