[Reposted for lack of responses]

My FreeBSD 3.4-STABLE machine has an older Dell P90-MHz mobo with onboard
IDE controller that the new 4.0 ATA driver doesn't like (RZ100/CMD640), so I
bought a Promise UDMA-66 PCI controller card.

I installed the Promise card, disabled the on-board IDE controller in the
BIOS setup, and commented out the lines

    #device         ata0    at isa? port IO_WD1 irq 14
    #device         ata1    at isa? port IO_WD2 irq 15

in my kernel configuration file. (But I still have

    device          ata
    device          atadisk                 # ATA disk drives
    device          atapicd                 # ATAPI CDROM drives

in the config.)

The machine is fully at 4.0-STABLE now, and I have no problem with the ATA
driver finding my hard drive at /dev/ad0s1. But my HP 8250i CD-RW drive is
not showing up...

The Promise controller boot-time output shows that it finds the drive, but
the FreeBSD probe can't find it. (It did work in 3.4-STABLE).

Here's my dmesg output:

--- End dmesg output ---


The 'ata4-master: identify retries exceeded' line seems to indicate the
problem, but I don't know what this means or what to do about it. Obviously,
I can't put the CD-RW drive on the old mobo controller...

Another oddity: Although I've disabled the mobo's IDE interface in the BIOS
setup, and commented the IRQ14 & 15 entries in my kernel config file,
FreeBSD is still probing and finding the controller (at atapci0). Is this
normal? Thankfully it's not panic-ing over it, tho...

At the bottom of this message, I've also attached my kernel config file.

Any advice is greatly appreciated!
