I've got a HP Pavilion ZU-1175 laptop that physically is two separate parts: a docking station with a dual channel (ata2 and ata3) PCI IDE controller and 2 IDE drives (separate DVD and CDRW drives). The only time FreeBSD recognizes these drives is when I boot the computer ON THE DOCKING STATION. It looks like the IDE controller is a separate PCI device which is "hot-plugged" whenever docking/undocking the laptop. Any idea if hot-plug PCI devices are supported in FreeBSD? > I've only been using it for oh . . . ten minutes now so system stablity > hasn't really been tested all that thorougly, but I was able to boot with it > out and then insert, reinit the channel, and properly mount it. > The patch was stable enough to survive deleting my src tree, untar the backup I saved, and make buildworld buildkernel installkernel/reboot to restore my old config...
