Hi Folks, I'm using an AOPEN AK77PRO motherboard with 4.7 PRERELEASE. The ATA controller (VIA 8233) is not show on the freebsd.org web site=20 as a supported chipset. Is this correct? I have reason to believe=20 not, as a friend with a local ISP is running several of these=20 motherboards with -STABLE (with ATA-100 mode). The problem I'm having is that the Maxtor 6L080J4 ATA-133 drives are=20 being recognized as UDMA33 with the message "non-ATA66 cable or=20 device". the ata(4) man page indicates that you can force the controller to=20 change modes with "sysctl hw.atamodes". Inputting this to sysctl=20 results in "unknown oid 'hw.atamodes'. The ata(4) man page is apparently wrong, so how can I change the mode=20 manually? I'd be happy to settle for ATA-100. (Yes, I'm using 80 wire cables!) Thanks, Jim Durham To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
