There's VIA's motherboard (not sure about the model name). Here's info regarding ata controller from dmesg: atapci0: <VIA 8235 UDMA133 controller> port 0xac00-0xac0f at device 17.1 on pci0 I will be able to test the drives (the ones which I thought of as "failed") on another board within 10 days or so. regards, M. _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
