Dear Sirs: Using FreeBSD 4.9R-p3, I cannot use the VIA 8237 ATA133 IDE ports: > /var/log/dmesg.today:atapci1: <VIA Apollo ATA controller> port > 0xfc00-0xfc0f at device 15.1 on pci0 > /var/log/dmesg.today:ata0: at 0x1f0 irq 14 on atapci1 > /var/log/dmesg.today:ata1: at 0x170 irq 15 on atapci1 I saw 8.10, however, *does* support the VIA 8237. Is there a way I can just upgrade the ata driver, without going all the way to 8.10? I really cannot continue with using WDMA2 on 16 MB/s. I am not sure whether it is at all possible to upgrade the ata(4) driver in this fashion. If it is a matter of recompiling the kernel, I can do that. I am sorry if this sounds like a stupid question. But I have searched the FreeBSD site and Google; but I cannot find anything which deals with upgrading the ata(4) drivers. I appreciate the help, - Mark
