Hi Steve,

Attached is the boot and pciconf (although not a verbose boot — I’ll try and get that later today).

The machine itself is not identical. That was reportedly a SUN X2270 M1 server with 4 SATA connected disks, and mine is a HP Proliant Microserver (http://m.hp.com/nz/en/products/proliant-servers/product-detail.do?oid=4248009)

I did give it an after market bios upgrade a year or so ago because as shipped it only supported ide emulation on SATA ports 5 and 6. (http://drapsag.nl/?p=17). After I changed the bios it supports ACHI on all 6 ports.

It has been running absolutely fine under load on Freebsd 10.0 since that was released. The problems only occur under 10.1.
