The ata driver has some issues with the Apollo MVP3 chipset.
|
|
Drives work only in pio mode and must be set to pio mode early
|
|
int the boot process. Do not upgrade. If you must upgrade
|
|
in the face of this, add
|
|
/sbin/sysctl -w hw.atamodes=pio,pio,pio,pio
|
|
to the start of /etc/rc.conf. Even if you do this, any and
|
|
all damage to your system is at your own risk. You have been
|
|
warned.

The ISA and PCI compatability shims have been connected to the
|
|
options COMPAT_OLDISA and COMPAT_OLDPCI. If you are using old
|
|
style PCI or ISA drivers (i.e. tx, voxware, etc.) you must
|
|
include the appropriate option in your kernel config. Drivers
|
|
using the shims should be updated or they won't ship with
|
|
5.0-RELEASE, targeted for 2001.

We've entered the tradtional post release dumping party.
|
|
Large kernel changes are being committed and are in the
|
|
works. It is important to keep the systems' klds and kernel
|
|
in sync as kernel interfaces and structures are changing.
|
|
Before reporting kernel panics, make sure that all modules
|
|
that you are loading are up to date.

If you are upgrading from an older version of FreeBSD, you
|
|
need to update your boot blocks as well. 'disklabel -B ad0'
|
|
will do the trick. This isn't critical until you remove your
|
|
wd device entries in /dev, at which point your system will not
|
|
boot.
