Hello Andreas!
> Well, then I'll have to buy an 80-wire cable tomorrow as well.
I bought an ABIT Hot Rod 66 controller two weeks ago together
with a Maxtor 27 GB/7200 drive.
The board offers two Ultra DMA 66 channels (= 4 devices) and
is based on the HPT366 chipset.
In this case you probably don't need to buy an 80-wire cable, as the
package includes one such cable (for up to 2 devices).
I paid DM 69 for it.
Here is the related dmesg output:
ata-pci0: <SiS 5591 ATA controller> irq 0 at device 1.1 on pci0
ata-pci0: Busmastering DMA not enabled
ata-pci1: <HighPoint HPT366 ATA controller> irq 15 at device 11.0 on pci0
ata-pci1: Busmastering DMA supported
ata2 at 0x6300 irq 15 on ata-pci1
ata-pci2: <HighPoint HPT366 ATA controller> irq 15 at device 11.1 on pci0
ata-pci2: Busmastering DMA supported
ad0: <Maxtor 92732U8/RA530JN0> ATA-5 disk at ata2 as master
ad0: 26059MB (53369568 sectors), 52946 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S
ad0: 16 secs/int, 1 depth queue, UDMA66
It is from a -CURRENT from January, 2nd.
You might notice the ata-pci0 device, this is the built in Ultra DMA 33
controller of my Gigabyte 586S2 mother board, despite my efforts to
desactivate it through the according AWARD BIOS settings.
As far as I can judge, the ATA controller/hd combination seems to work under
FreeBSD.
Unfortunately I can't test it really because I experience the same effect
here that I do when I put some load on my Audio PCI soundcard - when
putting load on the Hot Rod, sooner or later the Asus SC200 (ncr 810 based)
SCSI controler goes nuts (and the system hangs on the next swap in).
I have no clue why, the theories range from interrupt problems due to the
SC200 not being PCI 2.1 compliant to some flaw in my motherboard.
Thus I decided to buy a new SCSI controller. I looked for a DAWICONTROL
first, but Stefan Esser pointed me to Tekram. Because of their FreeBSD
support I bought the Tekram DC-390F.
World is building in the background now and when this is done,
I will change the SCSI controller and hope to have the troubles
resolved.
Regards,
Marc
