Hello,
Has anyone an idea why the Promise controllers seemed to work correctly under
6.x, then have issues with 7.0 ? (more precisely : was the existing bug not
triggered by the 6.x kernel ?)
The problems as in the Promise HW, so it bound to happen on 6.x as well.
Note that it just leads to data corruption not nessesarily hangs/lockups.
Apparently not all Promise controllers are/were affected. I've been
running CURRENT since Pawel committed ZFS with an onboard Promise:

No, only the newer "Gen2" chips, the older should be safe.

The only problem I have and I'm filling a pr for that, is when booting
from CD with the controller enabled, the BTX loader just reboots.
Thats at least not an ATA problem :)
