Hi,
I prepared an USB stick and added the /boot/loader.conf file with
"hw.hptrr.attach_generic=0" and it still didn't work :
"pciconf -lv" still showed the hptrr driver attached to the sat2-mv8
card and no harddisks were detected.
So I removed the /boot/loader.conf file and added the same line
("hw.hptrr.attach_generic=0") to /boot/defaults/loader.conf and guess
what !
It still doesn't work...
Just for the peace of mind I verified one more time if linux did
recognize the controller and indeed, it did.
Anyway, as you know, linux is a pain in the ass for someone who's
accustomed to FreeBSD so I bought a cheap PCI-X controller on ebay
today, as a temporary solution for replacing my current PCI sata
controller which is occupying a PCI slot I desperately need.
Are there any plans to fix this supermicro sat2-mv8 card problem in the
upcoming 9.1 release ?
kind regards,
Dirk
