While installing FreeBSD-4.8 RELEASE onto the system with Gigabyte's GA-SINXP1394 mother board and Maxtor's 6Y080P0 (80GB, ATA133) hard drive, the GENERIC kernel stacks while boot, resetting the ata device. Fix: The problem is mainly because device probe failure of the SiS655 chipset. To bypass the problem, temporally boot with the ata driver in PIO mode. set hw.ata.ata_dma="0" This option disables the ATA DMA function. Then apply patches below and compile, install the new kernel, reboot. The kernel with these patches seemingly have been working well so far. How-To-Repeat: Boot the GENERIC kernel on the SiS655 chipset motherboard with ATA drive
