We have a Dell Powervault 745N and want to install FreeBSD 6.1-R.
But the installer complains that it can not find out any hard disk.
Since the dmesg contains ata2~5, I think the controller is recognized
by FreeBSD, but it cannot get the SATA drive.
The dmesg and result of running pciconf -lv is in this PR:

The controller (which you label in your PR as "some funny RAID
controller") is an Intel 31244:
atapci0: <Intel 31244 SATA150 controller> mem 0xfe1ff000-0xfe1fffff irq 25 at
device 2.0 on pci2
ata2: <ATA channel 0> on atapci0
ata3: <ATA channel 1> on atapci0
ata4: <ATA channel 2> on atapci0
ata5: <ATA channel 3> on atapci0
Some history: this controller was discussed back in 2005:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2005-June/050827.html
The appropriate code appears to have been committed to FreeBSD as
of June 2005:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/dev/ata/ata-pci.h#rev1.49
There was a DMA-related fix for this controller committed in February 2006:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/dev/ata/ata-pci.h#rev1.49.2.7
Soren, do you have any ideas?
Nothing else that that it should work. I dont own any HW that uses this
chip so I cannot test it out. The current support was done for the ARM
port IIRC so things might be different on other systems.
At any rate you definitly should try out 6.2-beta-something as 6.1 is
getting old....
