I'm looking to replace an aging fileserver with an Asus A7V600 board. Presently it appears FreeBSD does not support the serial ATA interface on the south bridge. As this appears to be the first Via serial ATA controller, am I safe in assuming this will not be supported for some time?
I have two Asus boards (A7V8X and A7V) which have in common a Promise ATA controller. Both of these boards hang up for about a minute during the boot of 5.1-RELEASE, and emit messages about ad* devices being reset -- I cannot paste them verbatim as they seem to have been omitted from my dmesg. In the case of the A7V8X, the controller is unused and disabled in the BIOS. Has this been rectified for 5.2? When using atacontrol's software RAID functionality, GEOM laments "Opened disk ad6 -> 1" at boot. This seems like benign noise, perhaps it should be removed -- it appears to be a forgotten debug message, /sys/geom/geom_disk.c 1.72, line 115. _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
