Re: ATA Patch #6

:Update: the lockup happens reading from an IDE drive with DMA enabled
:(no mater what speed it is). Writing to an IDE drive doesn't seem
:to have a problem. After I noticed this, I tried to reproduce the lockup
:with dd command to perform a repeated short reads from the disk:
:
:# dd if=/dev/ad0s1f of=/dev/null
:
:There's a short period of time before the box becomes unresponsive,
:during which pressing ctrl+T stops displaying the status(it eventually
:locks up no matter whether I press ctrl+T or not). I managed to press
:ctrl-alt-esc in the middle of(not sure if this is normal):

    Hmm.  This is very intriguing.  Can you perhaps get a kernel dump
    out of it?
