Hi,
I've had a number of problems with this card. Please note I'm not using
this as a RAID card.
atapci0@pci1:3:0: class=0x010400 card=0x61121095 chip=0x31121095
rev=0x02 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Silicon Image Inc (Was: CMD Technology Inc)'
device = 'SiI 3112 SATALink/SATARaid Controller'
class = mass storage
subclass = RAID
Under FreeBSD 5, it'd continually generate timeout - WRITE_DMA errors
which would make the disks operate really slow... I found many others to
be having the same issue and they recommended dropping back to PIO
mode... seems I cannot do that on this card.
Under FreeBSD 6-BETA5, I never managed to get it installed... was
getting an error DANGER WILL ROBINSON
Under FreeBSD 6-RELEASE, I wasn't able to install with multiple disk
slices which I have attempted several times for the machine to lock up
when it gets to 28% copied each time. I ended up partitioning as a
single slice and strangely this worked. However, it seems whenever there
is a bit of disk activity the machine locks up just after dumping the
error ata2: DISCONNECT requested
Strangely this seems to happen everytime if I begin accessing both disks
I have attached to this controller at once.
