Apparently not all Promise controllers are/were affected. I've been
running CURRENT since Pawel committed ZFS with an onboard Promise:
atapci0: <Promise PDC20319 SATA150 controller> port
0xb000-0xb03f,0xb400-0xb40f,0xb800-0xb87f mem
0xfc024000-0xfc024fff,0xfc000000-0xfc01ffff irq 23 at device 4.0 on
pci4
ar0: 305245MB <Promise Fasttrak RAID0 (stripe 64 KB)> status: READY
ar1: 305245MB <Promise Fasttrak RAID0 (stripe 64 KB)> status: READY
atapci0@pci0:4:4:0: class=3D0x010400 card=3D0x80f51043 chip=3D0x3319105=
a
rev=3D0x02 hdr=3D0x00
vendor =3D 'Promise Technology Inc'
device =3D 'PDC20319(??) FastTrak SATA150 TX4 Controller'
class =3D mass storage
subclass =3D RAID
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.
