Just in case it may help someone (this information is not very easily
accessible in the archives):
- I have a Promise TX2 controller with a PCI ID of 0x3375105a . It works
for me in 4.10 by adding the new PCI ID everywhere that you'll find the
other/old one (0x3371105a) in the patch (see next paragraph) or kernel
source under dev/ata. Don't blame me if you lose your data, I will not
take responsibility, but this is weakly supported by the the two
controllers appearing to be handled just the same in -current.
- (Reminder) The 'old' TX2 SATA promise controllers can be used in
FreeBSD 4.10/4-STABLE by patching the kernel source. The patch can be
found at:
http://www.ambrisko.com/doug/ata/
See
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2004-March/006791.html
for the annoucement message. The patch file is now named
ata_stable_sata_5.patch, not xx_2.patch.
