Hi Folks, I'm using an AOPEN AK77PRO motherboard with 4.7 PRERELEASE.
The ATA controller (VIA 8233) is not show on the freebsd.org web site as a supported chipset. Is this correct? I have reason to believe not, as a friend with a local ISP is running several of these motherboards with -STABLE (with ATA-100 mode). The problem I'm having is that the Maxtor 6L080J4 ATA-133 drives are being recognized as UDMA33 with the message "non-ATA66 cable or device". the ata(4) man page indicates that you can force the controller to change modes with "sysctl hw.atamodes". Inputting this to sysctl results in "unknown oid 'hw.atamodes'. The ata(4) man page is apparently wrong, so how can I change the mode manually? I'd be happy to settle for ATA-100. (Yes, I'm using 80 wire cables!) Thanks, Jim Durham To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
