My system is an Asus P5K-E/WiFi with a DVDR <LITE-ON DVDRW LH-20A1S/9L08>. It has 4GB RAM and two SATA hard drives. I have no PATA drives in it. It is running in RAID mode. Unfortunately, this is my only workstation at home, so I will not be changing versions. I am willing to make changes to the driver. Here is a patch[1] to recognize and print the ICH9R during boot. It does not change anything functionally. My current notes: 1. burncd (without atapicam loaded), cdrecord and dd can all produce warnings. dd if=/dev/acd0 of=/dev/null bs=10M count=1 2. sysinstall will fail during install when copying GENERIC kernel. This was on my work computer in a Dell Optiplex 745 with 1GB RAM. atapci0: <Intel ICH8 SATA300 controller> acd0: CDRW <HL-DT-ST CD-RW/DVD-ROM GCC-H10N/C103> at ata3-master SATA150 3. Do not detach a channel with atacontrol. I tried that on the channel with the DVD drive. Panic. 4. I am thinking about writing a program to perform simple tests on the ATAPI ioctl's. Maybe one exists? 5. PATA is not related since I have no PATA drives in my computer. *downgrade to 6.2 AMD64 snipped* Sean 1. http://www.farley.org/freebsd/tmp/ata-chipset.c.diff -- scf_at_FreeBSD.orgReceived on Sat Nov 03 2007 - 14:00:24 UTC
