A few questions:
1) What does "accidentally works" mean?
one of our techs found a patch for 6.3 that worked.
2) Do I understand you correctly: 6300ESB works on FreeBSD 5.5 and 6.2,
"accidentally works" on 6.3, but does not work on 7.0?
I have a compiled kernel that works, but we lost the patch. normal 6.3
doesn't.
generic 6.3 doesn't. i 6.3 current didn't work.
I can send you a dell 750 with 6.3 on it that does work (custom 6.3
kernel, again, lost the source, can't repeduce 'fix' no matter what I tried)
even upgraded dell 750 to latest firmware.
other anomaly: teying to man times to boot 6.3 hosed a hard disk.
fried the hardware (hard disk) somehow.
3) Have you tried 7.1-PRERELEASE? I make no promises, but additional
confirmation would be helpful.
not yet. since I didn't see any CLOSED pr talking about fixing it, and
all the hardware notes on 6.2, 6.3, 6.4, 7.0 and 7.1 say just it does
generic support for SATA150.

4) Have you contacted the ata(4) author, Soren Schmidt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
about this driver regression?
5) Is there a PR open on this matter, or have you filed one?
after replying to freebsd-hardware post, I found this, but have found
other posts going back to feb 2008.
