    Hi there.

    I've been using FreeBSD 5.2.1 for a while now and just tried an upgrade
    to current. I now get a timeout during boot when it tries to detect the
    devices on the primary ATA channel. If I move the boot device to the
    secondary channel it works fine. But I need devices on the primary
    channel working. I've ruled out the cables and disks, as devices/cables
    that are fine on channel 0 are not fine on channel 1.

    The motherboard is a Gigabyte 6VX-4X - making the controller a VIA
    82C686A. I've had trouble with the USB ports on this motherboard... is
    this ATA chipset known to be dodgy?... in which case I'll just get a PCI
    based controller - or is there something else obviously wrong?

    The error during boot is:

        FAILURE - ATA_IDENTIFY timed out

    Many thanks

    Jake
