Hello!

My backup server ran out of space and I got my hands on a SATA pci
card carrying a Sil 3112a chip. The problem beeing that when
booting bsd the drive timeout with a message like:

pciide0:0:0: not ready, st=0xd0<BSY,DRDY,DSC>, err=0x00
pciide0 channel 0: reset failed for drive 0
wd0c: device timeout reading fsbn 0 (wd0 bn 0; cn 0 tn 0 sn 0), retrying

I have flashed the motherboard and SATA controller bios:es to
the latest version. For the SATA controller i used the non-RAID
base image.

Booting bsd.rd works without any problems.
Booting bsd from 4.4 works without any problems.
Booting bsd from 4.5 or later stops with a timeout.

So I am going to start with 4.4 and work my way forwards if there
aren't any better ideas.

So I have been comparing RAMDISK_CD and GENERIC for a few days
and it seems I can compile a working GENERIC by commenting
"options DIAGNOSTIC" in the config file.

Trying to find exactly which ifdef that kills the card I started
getting unpredictable results while changing ifdef's in
/usr/src/sys/kern and /usr/src/sys/scsi.

Sometimes it work sometimes it dosen't. :-(

Any suggestions would be very welcome.
