Humm. :( This is definitely a regression that needs to be fixed. (For the non-ACPI case). Did you have this problem on older kernels as well?

So that means the ACPI ata attachment almost worked. Humm, try doing a hack to change ATA_IOADDR_RID in ata-all.h from 0 to 1 along with the previous patch to add an acpi attachment for ata and see if that works. I still have no idea why the ata hint device isn't working. It should be working fine. :( -- John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
