X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sun, 30 Mar 2003 19:17:38 -0000 Hello all. I was wondering if there would be a backport of the ServerWorks GC chipset (CSB6 South bridge) to 4-Stable. I am only able to obtain "BIOSDMA" support on my HD's and basic "PIO" support of my CD-RW. I played around with 5.0-Current on this machine and by utilizing 'atacontrol', I was able to get DMA mode transfers on all of the installed media. There were also no stability issues running in this mode either under 5-Current. Failing any plans by the developers to include this support into the upcoming 4.8-Release or later -Stable code, would it be possible to try and hack the -Current code into -Stable myself?
