>Release:        FreeBSD 3.0-CURRENT i386
>Environment:

	o FreeBSD 3.0-CURRENT CVSupped last night 
	o Amptron PM-9600 motherboard, "TXTWO" (actually Acer Aladdin IV+) chipset
	o ide_pci.c in, with DMA enabled on my main drive, a Seagate ST39140A
	o Any EIDE or ATAPI device on the second ATA channel (wdc1)

>Description:

	When I try to use any IDE device (regular or ATAPI) on my
	motherboard's second channel, FreeBSD tries to detect it, and
	fails. When I use the DISABLE_PCI_IDE option in my kernel
	config, devices on the second channel are detected correctly.
	This has been an issue with 3.0-CURRENT ever since I changed to
	this motherboard from a FIC PA-2007 (which has the VIA Apollo
	VP2 chipset, which is specfically supported in ide_pci.c). The
	problem on the second channel happens regardless of orientation
	of devices (ATAPI master, ATAPI slave no master, ATA master,
	ATAPI slave with ATA master). 
	
>How-To-Repeat:

	THe problem seems to be particular to this board, so I would try
	it on a board with a recent Acer chipset first. Just hook up
	something to the second channel, and watch it not work.
>Fix:
	
	"options DISABLE_PCI_IDE" seems to work for now, but
	unfortunately, I need that for the main drive, so I have to keep
	it out.
