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. Regards, Jean-Francois Dockes
