Re: VIA IDE controller not detected on RELENG_6
[Second attempt to send this, since my ISP's mailserver seems to have eaten
the first attempt. Apologies if it appears twice.]
Alright, that gives useful information. The output from pciconf and dmesg
indicates strongly that what you have is an Asus motherboard with an VIA
vt8251 southbridge. There are only a handful of such models and based on
what other devices you have on the motherboard and the specifications on the
motherboards in question I am almost certain that the motherboard in
question is an Asus A8V-VM.
That motherboard (as well as all other amd64-capable motherboards I am
aware of) does have a SATA-controller, but since it does not appear in
the output of either pciconf or dmesg it must have been disabled in the
BIOS. (Not all motherboards allow you to disable the SATA-controller in
the BIOS, but the A8V-VM does according to its manual.)
As I said before the pci-id for the PATA-controller (0x05711106) is used
by several VIA chipsets for their PATA-controller. In order to find
out which particular chipset it is the ata(4) driver has to look at the
other pci-ids in the system to find one which is unique to that chip.
To identify a chip as an vt8251 ata(4) looks for the pci-id of the vt8251
SATA-controller -- the one which seems to have been disabled in BIOS
on your system.
If you (or somebody else) were to enable the built-in SATA-controller on
your system then the PATA controller should be recognized correctly.
Since you don't seem to have physical access to the machine which means it
might be difficult for you to change BIOS settings, you might try the
following patch which makes ata(4) look for a different pci-id that you do
have in your system.
(Note that since I do not have any motherboard with the VIA vt8251 chip, I
have not been able to actually test this patch - so be careful if you do
decide to try it.)

The only difference is that your chipset has a higher revision number.
But it is recognized without problems:

That pci-id is used by several different VIA chips for the PATA
controller.
The FreeBSD ata(4) driver searches among the other PCI-ids in the box to
find out which chips it actually is.
It may be that the first one is some recent chip that is not yet
recognized
by ata(4). The complete output out of 'pciconf -l' might be useful. (And
possibly that of 'dmesg' as well.)
It is also possible that the driver is looking for some device
