I did port the the LBA code from -current to -stable, it works for me since weeks, and it works for several other people. I see no reason to not put that into -stable, and I'd really like to see that. 2.2.6-RELEASE is what people new to FreeBSD are installing, and it should support current hardware, if feasible. Supporting large IDE drives is feasible, so why not commit it? I opened a bug report with a patch on this. Please, someone commit it. -Hans To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
