>Environment:
        

	System      : OpenBSD 3.1
	Architecture: OpenBSD.i386
	Machine     : i386

>Description:
OpenBSD 3.1 fails to boot on a Gigabyte GA-8ST motherboard (SIS 5513 IDE controller.) During boot the drive detects correctly, however UDMA is not used, instead using PIO mode 4 and DMA mode 2. Shortly after the "pctr:..." appears, the following error occurs and the system locks: wd0(pciide0:0:0): timeout type: ata c_bcount: 512 c_skip: 0 pciide0:0:0 bus-master DMA error: missing interrupt, status=0x21

>How-To-Repeat:
        

	Boot system, without modifying kernel configuration. This may be
        a combination of motherboard/chipset bug and OpenBSD.

	When booted normally the following entry appears for the disk drive:

            wd0(pciide0:0:0): using PIO mode 4, DMA mode 2

        A dmesg from the system (with DMA disabled) is given below:

>Fix:

	Disable DMA on the wd0 device (flags 0x0ffc) or disable pciide 
        driver. Both of these are unsuitable long term due to decreased 
        system performance.
