Hello,

I just ran freebsd-update to get up to 9.0-RC2 and discovered that ataraid does not work.  I realize I'm an edge case and my scenario is not ideal (I use an ITE controller and performance is actually impressively slow), but I cannot boot 9.0 from my stripe, even after manually loading ataraid from the loader prompt (after running an unload command).  I mention it mostly because other people using the fakeraid setup by their motherboards for whatever reason (perhaps to share a partition table with windows on the same mirror or stripe) may have a similar problem.  It seems like the ar0 device disappeared for me completely (even though it finds ada0 and ada1).  I'm using the following device:

atapci0@pci0:2:11:0:    class=0x010400 card=0x00000000 chip=0x82121283 rev=0x13 hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Integrated Technology Express (ITE) Inc'
    device     = 'ATA 133 IDE RAID Controller (IT8212F)'
    class      = mass storage
    subclass   = RAID
rl0@pci0:2:13:0:        class=0x020000 card=0x80ea104d chip=0x813910ec rev=0x10 hdr=0x00

At first I figured because it may be loading AHCI (as per the device naming schemes ada0 and ada1).  I haven't looked too much into it (these devices are actually PATA not SATA, so AHCI doesn't even exist for these), but maybe there's an ATA/AHCI driver that's built into the default kernelthat is interfering with ataraid.ko?  Maybe this interferes with my stupidly slow and unpopular configuration.  

Thanks for any help, I'll also have a gander at the new DEFAULTS for the generic kernel in the 9.0 source tree.
