SATA sil problems ...

[Michał Garcarz]

Hello
 
I have SATA SIL 3112 controller. Unfortunately it is not working 
correctly under FreeBSD. It does not work for me, and i found on 
google that it doesn't work correctly for many other people.
I tried Freebsd 4.x, 5.x and 6.1.
Here are the errors which occur when system works:
 
Sep 12 11:03:35 multix kernel: ad6: WARNING - SETFEATURES SET 
TRANSFER MODE taskqueue timeout - completing request directly
Sep 12 11:03:35 multix kernel: ad6: TIMEOUT - WRITE_DMA retrying (1 
retry left) LBA=8159967
Sep 12 11:55:36 multix kernel: ad4: FAILURE - READ_DMA 
status=51<READY,DSC,ERROR> error=40<UNCORRECTABLE> LBA=8878591
Sep 12 11:55:36 multix kernel: ar0: WARNING - mirror protection lost.
 RAID1 array in DEGRADED mode
Sep 12 11:55:36 multix kernel: ar0: writing of Silicon Image Medley 
metadata is NOT supported yet
 
Do You have similar problems ?
 
What SATA controller could you suggest ?
I must be on card (PCI?) so i could plug in to my current server. It 
have to work stable under Freebsd 6.1. It should be chip. It doesn't 
have to be real hardware RAID (it can use software from BIOS).
 
Thanx
