I could but have not been given an okay from RE. What I've proposed to do before is commit the base HW support without my RAID and other enhancements. This is essentially taking the stuff from 5-current HW only bits to 4.X. That would let people use the HW. Then fix some ATA/FreeBSD bugs so machines don't hang and panic. I don't plan to bring in my RAID enhancements since then if people upgrade to 5.X/6.X they will lose functionality. Very little of the core ata code in 4.X has to change since I have compatibility macros to make it transparent. The bug fixes tweak some of the ata core code. My employer would give me time to do this. | Doug Ambrisko wrote: | | >Dmitry Morozovsky writes: | >| On Sat, 22 Jan 2005, Dmitry Morozovsky wrote: | >| | >| DM> DA> There is: | >| DM> DA> http://www.ambrisko.com/doug/ata/ata_stable_sata_7.patch | >| DM> DA> for 4.10.

Actually it looks like I did test it a while back so it should be ready to go if someone is interested in testing it to make sure the PCI ID's are right (Dmitry?). It's at: http://www.ambrisko.com/doug/ata/ata_stable_sata_8.patch Thanks, Doug A. _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
