I have a Gigabyte GA-6KIEH-RH motherboard. It has 5 SATA ports, 4 attached to a Sil 3114 controller and 1 attach to an ICH8m. The system is running -CURRENT from yesterday. I have two disks attaching as ad4 and ad6 to ata2 and ata3 resp. I can set ACHI mode for ICH8m in the BIOS. When I do not enable it, the 5th SATA conector shows up as slave on ata6. When I do enable it the 5th connector shows up as master on ata8. If I boot without anything connected to the fifth port, then connect a drive I thought that the following should work to get the drive recognized: sudo atacontrol detach ata8 sudo atacontrol attach ata8 (or a similar dance with ata6 if AHCI isn't enabled). When I set boot_verbose in loader.conf I see the following when I attach (two separate attempts with different SATA drives): ata8: AHCI reset... ata8: SATA connect status=00000004 ata8: AHCI reset done: phy reset found no device ata8: [MPSAFE] ata8: [ITHREAD] ata8: Identifying devices: 00000000 ata8: New devices: 00000000 ata8: AHCI reset... ata8: SATA connect status=00000004 ata8: AHCI reset done: phy reset found no device ata8: [MPSAFE] ata8: [ITHREAD] ata8: Identifying devices: 00000000 ata8: New devices: 00000000 If the drive's attached at boot time then it's recognized. Am I doing something wrong, or is my hardware balky? Thanks! g.
