Subject:   5.2 ata driver doesn't detect VIA 8237 IDE controller
Message-ID:  <20040102204932.B93774-100000@snaps.home>

Bought a new Athlon motherboard with a KT400A + VT8237 chipset.
A RELENG_5_2 built at Dec 29, says that atapci0 is a
"GENERIC ATA controller" that only handles UDMA33.
boot -v output can be found at http://hubsch.org/freebsd/boot52_2.txt.

ata-chipset.c have code that should recognize the VT8237 but it seems that
the wrong chipid (0x3149) is used. According to the first url below, that
chipid is for the standalone SATA card VT6420. VIA have released patches
to have Linux recognize the VT8237 that uses chipid 0x3227 (url2 below).
This chipid is also found on my motherboard.

These is yet another problem to have FreeBSD recognize my IDE controller.
The code in ata-chipset.c requires that the ISA bridge have the
same slot id as the VIA IDE controler (0x0571). This is not the case on
my motherboard. As shown in the boot -v output the ide controller is
at slot 15 and the isa bridge is at slot 17.

The patch below works for me, but is not directly committable.
I had to bypass the logic in ata_find_chip() by using -99 as the slot id
(as the bridge slot id is higher than the ide controller's).
I don't know the original reason to have the slot id tests in there ...
