I also have a VT8235 system running 6.0 (RELENG_6 of last week), and the ATA drives work perfectly fine. This is what ``pciconf -lv'' reports: atapci0@pci0:17:1: class=0x01018a card=0xaa011106 chip=0x05711106 rev=0x06 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'VIA Technologies Inc' device = 'VT82xxxx EIDE Controller (All VIA Chipsets)' class = mass storage subclass = ATA And these are the relevant lines from /var/run/dmesg.boot: atapci0: port 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6,0x170-0x177,0x376,0xe000-0xe00f at device 17.1 on pci0 ata0: on atapci0 ata1: on atapci0 ad0: 238475MB at ata0-master UDMA100 acd0: DVDROM at ata0-slave UDMA33 ad2: 239372MB at ata1-master UDMA133 Maybe you should share your pciconf/dmesg output with us. Messages from a verbose boot might be useful, too. > The motherboard is an ASUS P4VP-MX, with a 2.0GHz P4 CPU, and 1G > RAM.

(It _might_ work if you're lucky, but it's not reliable.) However, it should at least detect the master on the first channel, so that's not the cause of your problem.
