I have tried each of these cards in two different boxes, 4.4-RELEASE as installed, and 4.4-STABLE: FreeBSD port6.pn.wagsky.com 4.4-STABLE FreeBSD 4.4-STABLE #0: Sun Sep 16 16:10:23 PDT 2001 jeff@devel.pn.wagsky.com:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/PIIIAV.20010916 i386 and seem to be unable to get the drives to be recognized by FreeBSD. This seems to be in conflict with the release notes and HARDWARE.TXT. Reading the notes in the group, others have been experiencing similar issues with the TX2 series. Is the TX2 different that what is referred to in the notes? The symptoms are as follows: (already run sh MAKEDEV ad4 ad5 ad6 ad7 -- with no change in behavior) * One drive on card's IDE1 - BIOS recognizes and loads - boot manager sees drive - atapci1 is seen on screen and in dmesg.boot - ad4 is not seen * One drive on card's IDE2 (or both populated) - BIOS recognizes and loads - boot manager sees drive - atapci1 is (I believe) seen on screen - hangs in the boot process just before identifying disks Motherboards are Intel se440-bx2, P600 and P600E, Promise card in first or second PCI slot (from AGP card). No issues with machines otherwise. Ultra100 TX2 is PDC20268 V2.10 B23 FastTrak100 TX2 is PDC20270 V2.00 B2 From dmesg.boot: [...] chip1: <Intel 82371AB Power management controller> port 0x7000-0x700f at device 7.3 on pci0 atapci1: <Promise TX2 ATA100 controller> port 0x1070-0x107f,0x1080-0x1083,0x1088 -0x108f,0x1084-0x1087,0x1090-0x1097 mem 0xf4000000-0xf4003fff irq 10 at device 1 4.0 on pci0 ata2: at 0x1090 on atapci1 ata3: at 0x1088 on atapci1 fxp0: <Intel Pro 10/100B/100+ Ethernet> port 0x1000-0x103f mem 0xf4100000-0xf41f ffff,0xf4004000-0xf4004fff irq 9 at device 16.0 on pci0 [...] ppc0: parallel port not found. ad0: 19574MB <WDC WD205BA> [39770/16/63] at ata0-master UDMA33 acd0: CDROM <FX4824T> at ata1-master using PIO4 Mounting root from ufs:/dev/ad0s1a (the freezing behavious is similar, but does not proceed to ad0) Any help on this would be greatly appreciated, even if (for now) it is a notation in the notes so that others may not suffer the same fate.
