GENERIC. After installing OS on the computer, during the installation=20
of
programs from sources this message appeares (installation mc from=20
ports,
for example):



Dear Ilya Storozhilov,

thank you for submitting the PR.

Unfortunately, in the hardware description above, you have not
specified your chipset.

AFAIR, similar problems have been reported for the last few weeks;
which problems were caused by **some** VIA chipsets. Could you please
provide as much information as possible in this respect ?



A possible/probable explanation of your error message lies in the
malfunction of your chipset in UDMA mode.

Possible workaround (until the bug is fixed): please disable UDMA mode
in your HD(s) and revert to PIO mode. In this connection, you may wish
to have a look at sysctl(8), sysctl.conf(5), and at your hw.atamodes
variable (sysctl -a | grep atamodes). Set "hw.atamodes" to pio mode,
ie substitute "pio" for "dma" in your hw.atamodes (sysctl -w
hw.atamodes=3Dpio,pio,pio,pio).

Dear FreeSBD PR maintainers,

I replied to a PR which, actually, turned out to be a duplicate of=20
kern/17592 *sigh*

My humblest apologies for any inconvenience. I should have taken one=20
more cup of coffe.

Best regards,
Salvo

Over to ATA maintainer. 
According to 'Salvo Bartolotta <bartequi@inwind.it>' 
this is a duplicate of PR 17592. I let Søren close this 
if it is.
